Support For Open Source Software
The open-source ReportLab Tookit is supported by the community. The first port of call is the users list, available by emailing reportlab-users@reportlab.com. The best interface is a Google Group at https://groups.google.com/g/reportlab-users; it's mirrored from the original source at https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/reportlab-users. Our staff cannot promise to answer directly. Please also bear in mind that if you send us a patch, it may take a lot of time to evaluate and prove safe in all cases so we cannot accept all of them.
If you would like commercial support for an open source application, feel free to contact enquiries@reportlab.com; or you can buy a block of support time online. However, bear in mind that it will take a lot longer to create runnable teaching examples than with ReportLab PLUS.
