Just digging up some code for you, we use this:

SimpleDocTemplate(...).build(self.story,
                             onFirstPage=self._on_page,
                             onLaterPages=self._on_page)

Now self._on_page is a method that gets called for each page like:

def _on_page(self, canvas, doc):
    # ... do any additional page formatting here for each page
    print doc.page
