Question

I’ve previously used http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ with http://pypi.python.org/pypi/wkhtmltopdf/0.2 to create screenshots of websites from the command line. However, I was wondering whether a pure python package exists, that can do the same. Currently I always need to download the correct binary of http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ if I switch computers. A pure python package would relieve me from this. Any ideas?

Answer 1

That would require a browser engine written in pure python. And this means you need a CSS processor und, more important, a complete Javascript engine written in Python. While this is undoubtedly possible, I’m pretty sure nobody has done it.
