+Reportlab is my go-to PDF library in `python`; however, it doesn't do multiple page layout well. The solution is to do regular multiple pages PDF with `reportlab`, then process that PDF file afterward to have any layout you want (2-page per sheet, 4-page per sheet, 9-page per sheet, ...)
+
+What you need?
+
+`pdfnup` -- it's available via `pip` but an ImportError always there. As a result, you need to download [that](https://bitbucket.org/deeplook/pdfnup/overview) and do install by yourself.
+
+    $ python setup.py install
+
+Simple enough. You also have a command line to work on too.
+
+    >>> from pdfnup import generateNup
+    >>>
+    >>> generateNup("multiple-pages.pdf", 2, verbose=True)
+    written: file-2up.pdf
+
+There you go.
