How to capture html frame as an image

Question

I need to open a webpage from Python and capture what I see in browser as an image(or rather what should be seen, because I want to execute it in background). The webpage contains JavaScript - one frame has caption dependent on script evaluation and I want it also to be captured.

What browser? What OS? this is more to do with scripting the browser in question than manipulating the HTML in any meaningful way. — Dan Davies Brackett, Feb 09 '11 at 18:33

It's feasible, at least, using PyQt + QWebKit (an example here and here).

Thanks for this hint! Do You have idea what will libraries will I need to make it work? What browser, OS requirements? – Intelligent-Infrastructure Feb 09 '11 at 19:17

@Lewy. You need Pyqt, any OS, no browser needed. – tokland Feb 09 '11 at 20:12
