from reportlab.platypus import ListFlowable, ListItem not working
Question: I am a newbie to python. I have to create an ordered list in my pdf document
using **Reportlab**. I found these two classes **ListFlowable(), ListItem()**
in the [user-guide](http://www.reportlab.com/docs/reportlab-userguide.pdf) of
Reportlab to do the same. But the very first import statement for these
classes is not working.

> from reportlab.platypus import ListFlowable, ListItem

This statement gives me the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name ListFlowable

How can I use these classes? I am using python 2.6, reportlab 2.5.


Answer: In my install of ReportLab 2.5 this isn't available. I see it's there in the
documentation, but searching through the code there is no such thing as a
ListFlowable or ListItem. This might be something that's only available in the
closed-source portion of ReportLab and not the open source.

If you need to make lists, though, you can fairly easily get similar results
using iterator variables and paragraph styles. That's the way I've always done
it.
