Weird, I installed Karmic from scratch and this time I get the same issues you do. The good news is that I fixed it! It’s up on github.
What architecture are you using? I switched to amd64, so that might be it?

Yes I ran it from the command line and I go the pdf file. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Also I had to include gtk.gdk.threads_init() to make the script work. Otherwise only a warning about glib would come up. It’s strange that you’re not experiencing this.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 as well:
libwebkit-1.0-2 1.1.15.2-1
python-webkit 1.1.5-1

It is probably something to do with the GTK mainloop, it should quit right after exporting.
Are you running this from command line?
Do you get a PDF file?

Hi,
thanks for the pdf export tip. I would like to use your idea in RedNotebook, but version 1.1.5 of pywebkitgtk (Ubuntu 9.10) seems to be buggy. Your script writes “Exporting PDF… Done.” and then never exits. Which pywebkitgtk and webkitgtk versions did you use?
