  Description     : accelerator module for the ReportLab Toolkit

 This is an accelerator module for the ReportLab Toolkit Open Source
 Python library for generating PDFs and graphics.
 .
 Since python-reportlab 4.0, the rl_accel C module which accelerates
 some functions is generally not necessary any more; Python is a lot
 faster than it was 20 years ago. You can still use it if you wish.

As from version 4.0, the ReportLab Toolkit considers C modules as
deprecated, this package can be used optionally to ensure a smooth
transition for packages which depended on python3-reporlab << 4.0

The package is maintained at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rl-accel and
I intend to keep it up to date.
