I tried installing pdfkit Python API in my windows 8 machine. I'm getting issues related to path.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\pdfcre", line 13, in <module>
pdfkit.from_url('http://google.com', 'out.pdf')

IOError: No wkhtmltopdf executable found: ""
If this file exists please check that this process can read it. Otherwise please install wkhtmltopdf - https://github.com/JazzCore/python-pdfkit/wiki/Installing-wkhtmltopdf
Is anybody installed Python PDFKIt in windows machine? How to resolve this error.
My sample code :
import pdfkit
import os
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf='C:\\Python27\\wkhtmltopdf\bin\\wkhtmltopdf.exe')
pdfkit.from_url('http://google.com', 'out.pdf')
The following should work without needing to modify the windows environment variables:
import pdfkit
path_wkhtmltopdf = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe'
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf=path_wkhtmltopdf)
pdfkit.from_url("http://google.com", "out.pdf", configuration=config)
Assuming the path is correct of course (e.g. in my case it is r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe').
