Your code seems quite different from the example included in the github repo. – Ramsay

Answer 1

I think there is an issue with the current version. I had the same issues, and if you look at their Github issues page, someone posted the same issue two days ago.

This should have worked also, according to their documentation:

python -m wkhtmltopdf.main google.com ~/google.pdf

But instead I get:

optparse.OptionConflictError: option -h/--header-html: conflicting option string(s): -h

Since it's a wrapper, I'm guessing the underlying application was updated, but the wrapper has not been.

Calling the class like this seems to get past the error, but other errors reveal themselves: "wkhtmltopdf = WKhtmlToPdf('wikipedia.org','a.pdf',)" – Cambrel

Answer 2

The problem in typos and rewrited API in wkhtmltopdf/main.py

Right now API is:

from wkhtmltopdf import WKhtmlToPdf

wkhtmltopdf = WKhtmlToPdf('http://www.wikipedia.org','out.pdf')
