[xhtml2pdf] empty pdf when run from python console

[Adrian]

I'm running Pisa 3.0.32 with Python 2.6.1 on OSX 10.6. I'm trying to
write a couple of simple tests to better understand how pisa works but
am running into issues where empty pdfs are generated when I run pisa
code from the python console.

For instance, if I run the following from the python console, a
blank / empty pdf shows up on my Desktop.

html = "testing <strong>testing</strong>"
filename = "/Users/adrian/Desktop/test.pdf"

import ho.pisa as pisa
pdf = pisa.CreatePDF(html, file(filename, "wb"))


However, if I save the same code to a file (say test.py) and run it
from the Terminal (python test.py), a valid non-blank pdf shows up on
my Desktop. Any idea what might be going on?

I did a search and found a couple of related issues from months ago,
but it was never clear if they were resolved:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need to 'close' the file manually so it is written to disk. Example:

f = file(filename, "wb")
pdf = pisa.CreatePDF(html, f)
f.close()
