Error to import getStringIO from reportlab.lib.utils
See original GitHub issueHello, how are you?
I am getting error with xhtml2pdf library nowadays.
ImportError: cannot import name 'getStringIO' from 'reportlab.lib.utils' (/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/reportlab/lib/utils.py)
Yeah, I found that reportlab library was upgraded on 18th of February. I am sure the error is occurring with this package upgrading. Can you please check and fix it as soon as possible?
Regards, Mark

There is fix #590 and merged. @LegoStormtroopr can you release new version with the fix?
As a quick fix you can pin reportlab to version 3.6.6.
I highly doubt there will be a fix in xhtml2pdf anytime soon, given the latest release was in January 2020.
