This code will output a table into a lanscaped A4 PDF, with word wrap enabled.

#!/usr/local/bin/python

from reportlab.lib import colors
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4, inch, landscape
from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Table, TableStyle, Paragraph
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet

doc = SimpleDocTemplate("test_report_lab.pdf", pagesize=A4, rightMargin=30,leftMargin=30, topMargin=30,bottomMargin=18)
doc.pagesize = landscape(A4)
elements = []

data = [
["Letter", "Number", "Stuff", "Long stuff that should be wrapped"],
["A", "01", "ABCD", "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"],
["B", "02", "CDEF", "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB"],
["C", "03", "SDFSDF", "CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"],
["D", "04", "SDFSDF", "DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD"],
["E", "05", "GHJGHJGHJ", "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"],
]

#TODO: Get this line right instead of just copying it from the docs
style = TableStyle([('ALIGN',(1,1),(-2,-2),'RIGHT'),
                       ('TEXTCOLOR',(1,1),(-2,-2),colors.red),
                       ('VALIGN',(0,0),(0,-1),'TOP'),
                       ('TEXTCOLOR',(0,0),(0,-1),colors.blue),
                       ('ALIGN',(0,-1),(-1,-1),'CENTER'),
                       ('VALIGN',(0,-1),(-1,-1),'MIDDLE'),
                       ('TEXTCOLOR',(0,-1),(-1,-1),colors.green),
                       ('INNERGRID', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.25, colors.black),
                       ('BOX', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.25, colors.black),
                       ])

#Configure style and word wrap
s = getSampleStyleSheet()
s = s["BodyText"]
s.wordWrap = 'CJK'
data2 = [[Paragraph(cell, s) for cell in row] for row in data]
t=Table(data2)
t.setStyle(style)

#Send the data and build the file
elements.append(t)
doc.build(elements)

Here's the output.

If you use the default word wrap configuration, words that are too long won't be wrapped:

s.wordWrap = 'LTR'
