Screenshot not including images using python ghost.py

Question

I am using ghost.py to take a screencapture of a webpage. But the script isn't capturing any of the images on the page. I've set download_images=True - but that doesn't seem to work.

My code:

from ghost import Ghost

ghost = Ghost(wait_timeout=4, download_images = True) #download_images not working

ghost.open('http://sex-offender.vsp.virginia.gov/sor/policy.html')

ghost.capture_to('page.png')

This is what I get - no images

I couldn't reproduce your issue, it worked without issue on my end. I'm using Python 3.

I just gave it a shot with python 3 and it worked. I was using 2.7. – JonnyD Mar 31 '14 at 19:14

For posterity:

This issue is only raised when using python 2.7. No problems if you use python 3.3.
