title: How can I make the bullet appear directly next to the text of an indented list in the reportlab package for python?
body: <p>I'm using reportlab 2.6's ListFlowable to make a bulleted list with colored circle bullets. However, I would like the bullet to appear next to the text, rather than aligned with the preceding, non-indented text. I tried to open up the ListFlowable source, but I couldn't find much there. Here's what I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph, ListFlowable, ListItem, SimpleDocTemplate, Frame
  from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet, ParagraphStyle
  from reportlab.lib.colors import CMYKColor
  
  doc = SimpleDocTemplate("SOtest.pdf")
  styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
  Story = []
  Story.append(Paragraph("Header Text, I dont want the bullets directly below the H"
                         ,styles['Normal']))
  my_list = ListFlowable(
      [
          ListItem(Paragraph("Line 1",styles['Normal'])
                   ,bulletColor = CMYKColor(0.81, 0.45, 0.53, 0.23)
                   ,value = 'circle'
                   ),
          ListItem(Paragraph("Line 2",styles['Normal'])
                   ,bulletColor = CMYKColor(0.81, 0.45, 0.53, 0.23)
                   ,value = 'circle'
                   )
          ],
      bulletType='bullet',
      start='circle'
      )
  
  Story.append(my_list)
  doc.build(Story)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code results in this:

  <p>But I want it to look like:
  <img src="https://i.imgur.com/PUixgeH.png" alt="Desired"></p>
  
  <p>I manually edited the second image to get the desired effect.</p>
  
  <p>I thought about making a list inside a list, to get an indented bullet, but then I wouldn't know how to dedent the text closer to the bullet.</p>
