I am using Python 2.7 (iOS Pythonista application) and the reportlab 2.7 module to create a PDF file with a table. Everything is working fine. RepotLab automatically formats the width of the columns. But in two cases, I can’t understand why reportlab formats the output the way it does, and how I can get the desired format.
Case 1: All I Want ...
+-----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Day | Date | Time | Duration | Notes |
+-----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Tue | 01.04.14 | 14:00 - 17:15 | 3.25 | Here are some notes. |
+-----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Wed | 02.04.14 | 18:00 - 20:15 | 2.25 | Sometime these notes are a little longer text so there must be a line break to let the whole note be visible! |
+-----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Thu | 02.04.14 | 14:00 - 17:15 | 3.25 | And sometimes these notes are only a few words. |
+-----+----------+---------------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Case 2: I am trying to align floating point

| Wed | 02.04.14 | 14:00 - 17:15 | 3.2|5And sometimes these notes are only a few words. |
