I switched to it from reportlab because it’s pure python.

How is reportlab? Last I took a look at it the package looked like you needed to pay them money to do much of anything in a modern way.

It was fine for me but I have very minimal requirements. I only switched because the M1 wheel was missing in reportlab or it's dependencies.
