   That's ReportLab. The report designer is called Platypus:

'Platypus stands for "Page Layout and Typography Using Scripts". It is a
high level page layout library which lets you programmatically create
complex documents with a minimum of effort.

'The design of Platypus seeks to separate "high level" layout decisions from
the document content as much as possible. Thus, for example, paragraphs are
constructed using paragraph styles and pages are constructed using page
templates with the intention that hundreds of documents with thousands of
pages can be reformatted to different style specifications with the
modifications of a few lines in a single shared file which contains the
paragraph styles and page layout specifications.'
