Hi Robin

I am pretty sure that Steven was referring to the original post from 
jmfauth, not to anything that you wrote.

May I say that I am delighted that you are putting in the effort to port 
ReportLab to python3, and I trust that you will get plenty of support from 
the gurus here in achieving this.
