Convert HTML to an image in Python

I want to convert following HTML to PNG image in Python. For example:

<html>
<b>Bold text</b>
</html>

I have tried 'pisa' but it converts html to PDF, not to image. I can convert HTML to PDF and then convert PDF to PNG, but I was wondering if there is any direct solution.

Ok so first install the pyfpdf library:

$ pip install pyfpdf

Then in your python script, store the html source code in a variable:

html_source= # html source code.

Import pyfpdf, add the below line at the beginning of your script:

import pyfpdf

Write the text to pdf:

pdf = pyfpdf.FPDF(format='letter')
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Arial", size=12)
pdf.cell(200, 10, txt=html_source align="C")
pdf.output("htmlsource.pdf")

webkit2png. The original version is OSX-only, but luckily there is a cross-platform fork:https://github.com/AdamN/python-webkit2png

Hope this helps!!
