Problem Creating NewLines in PDF

[Andrew Evans]

Hello I am generating a PDF in web2py but its ignoring my line breaks.

 randname = random.randrange(1, 10001)
        styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
        title = "My Title"
        doc = SimpleDocTemplate("primer.pdf")
        story = []
        story.append(Paragraph(strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S",
gmtime()),styles["Heading2"]))
        para = ParagraphStyle(name="output", fontName='Helvetica',
fontSize=12)
        story.append(Paragraph(str(result_list), para))
        doc.build(story)
        response.headers['Content-Type']='application/pdf'
        response.headers['Content-Disposition'] =
'attachment;filename='+str(randname)+'-.pdf'
        return response.stream(open("primer.pdf", 'rb'))


result_list is a generated list. The pdf ignores line breaks and outputs it
as a list so ['  '] are included also. Any idea how I can create line breaks
and get rid of the ['  ']

*cheers
