+SUMMARY="An open source Python library for generating PDFs and graphics"
+DESCRIPTION="ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create documents in Adobe's \
+Portable Document Format (PDF) using the Python programming language. It also creates charts and \
+data graphics in various bitmap and vector formats as well as PDF.
+The ReportLab library directly creates PDF documents based on your graphics commands with no \
+intervening steps. This means your applications can generate reports extremely quickly compared \
+to other approaches such as scripting GUI PDF authoring tools."
