Can't create pdf using python PDFKIT Error : “ No wkhtmltopdf executable found:”

Question

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\\         


        

Answer 1

Found the decode on a windows platform needed to be a binary string, try:

        path_wkthmltopdf = b'C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe'
        config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf=path_wkthmltopdf)
        pdfkit.from_url(url=urlpath, output_path=pdffilepath,configuration=config)
