ReportLab Table With A Column Spanning All Rows Split Across PDF Page?

I am trying to layout a table in reportLab in the following format. The table is dynamic and can have many rows. --------- | a | b | |---| | | a | | |---| | | a | | ------

Solution 1:

The solution I ended up using was to ignore trying to span and just use the box code to draw the lines I wanted.

('INNERGRID', (0,0), (0,-1), colors.grey),  # gridlines for first column
('BOX', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.25, colors.grey), # outer border
('BOX', (0,0), (0,-1), 0.25, colors.grey),  # inner border
("LINEBELOW", (0, 'splitlast'), (-1, 'splitlast'), 0, colors.grey), # draw bottom line on table split
