How do I get long table to start on current page and not move to next page

[Zoe Seeger]

When adding a long reportlab table - larger than the available space on the current page - to a report, the table is moved to the next page even if the table continues for another portion of a page. I have looked at the Table and LongTable classes but it is not obvious if this is possible. How can I get the table to print on the current page and not be moved to a new page when it is longer than the available space?
