Ghost.py – Webkit-based scriptable web browser for Python

There is a capture_to[0] method that can be used to save a screenshot.

Btw, Thanks for telling me about Splash, I needed something that has support for Ad Block Plus rules.

Shameless plug, a while ago I wrote a micro rest api (ghost.py + flask) to take screenshots and optionally upload them to S3: http://gedrap.github.io/lightshot/

It still needs some extra work to be production ready though, please feel free to email me or create a github issue if you think it might useful for you :)

It probably uses WebKit from PySide / PyQT see:

I think it's sort of an approach towards something like nw.js but I could be wrong, a bit of more description as to the purpose and use case would help evade the confusion since I'm only speculating..

It lets you interact with a version of webkit via python. Useful for writing programs to interact with websites that normally require a user to press buttons.

it's basically a tool for mining a web site.
