It might (I suspect) be something to do with your environment or with what you're doing. Exactly what errors did you get? Out of curiosity, I just installed it on my Ubuntu box, by issuing: sudo pip install xhtml2pdf It apparently installed successfully. (You would only be able to follow this command if a) you're using Ubuntu, b) you have "pip" installed in your Python environment. If you don't know what "pip" is or why it's useful then either post back and ask, or better yet, first do your own research and then post if you still have questions and don't understand.) Thanks for the suggestion but my desktop environment is not qt. Its > gnome. > QT is not a desktop environment, it's a cross application framework, primary feature of which is its platform independent widget set. Therefore your desktop environment is actually irrelevant w.r.t. whether or not you use QT in your solution. In other words: You can install QT and run QT applications on your Gnome desktop. (Or on pretty much any other platform where QT is available.) On Debian based desktops using Gnome (like Ubuntu), the following command (untested) should pull in QT4 and all the dependencies, together with the Python wrappers, to allow you to try out the QT PDF suggestion. apt-get install python-qt4 As an aside, it (QT4) was already installed on my Ubuntu installation, I don't know if that's because at some point I installed an app that required it or whether it's because it was installed by default.
