[Biopython] Use of Reportlab

[Gregory Terzian]

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot I will look through the examples you've sent. Regarding Python
3 we are working hard on it and hopefully achieving a stable release by
year end. No API changes are planned, although with Python 3 all strings
will be unicode. We'll keep you up to date!

Gregory
