Originally (2005) I was installing reportlab because Adam Ryan's "iMap" project used it. Now ESRI uses it.
ReportLab is an open source toolkit for generating PDF files. The kit (and more documentation) is available from http://www.reportlab.org/. The commercial products based on ReportLab are at http://www.reportlab.com/.
The documentation comes in a PDF file. I find this amusing.
Installation
It is now available via pip.
I am going to drive it from ESRI arcpy.mapping so I want it installed under Windows. Your ESRI installation of python should have pip already, but you can update it. Use a browser to grab get-pip.py then run it, "python get-pip.py".
Then try C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.4\Scripts\pip install reportlab' thing. Once it's done you should eb able to run "python" and "import reportlab".
