It is released by ReportLab Inc., under BSD license.

It has the following features:

For document generation,Reportlab has a circular dependency on itself
So you have to install reportlab first and then extract the source
to some $DIR and then cd to $DIR/reportlab-$VER/docs and then
run python3 genAll.py it will generate a pdf file, which you can copy it
to some other convenient location.
