ANSWER

In the late 80's this may have been a simple task, just render some html to an image instead of the screen.

But these days web-pages require client-side execution to build parts of its DOM and re-render based on client-side initiated AJAX (or equivalent) requests... it's a whole thing "web 2.0" thing.

Rendering a web-site such as http://google.com as a simple html return should be easy, but rendering something like https://www.facebook.com/ or https://www.kogan.com/ will have many back & fourth comms to display what you're expecting to see.

So restricting this to a pure python solution may not be plausible; I'm not aware of a python-based browser. Consider running a separate service to take the screenshots, and use your core application (in python) to fetch requested screenshots.

I just tried a few with docker, many of them struggle with https and the aforementioned ajax behaviour.

edit: from your comments, you need the data from a graph that's rendered using a 2nd request.

you just need the json return from https://www.minnowbooster.net/limit/chart

Running the %gui qt IPython magic command before invoking ghost.Ghost().start() does the trick.

Judging by IPython/terminal/pt_inputhooks/qt.py, it creates a global Qt even loop and pumps events while the console is idle or something.

Your program is trying to import itself, since the first module ghost it finds is your ghost.py.

Renaming your program will fix this problem.

QUESTION

How to run d3js at server-side in a Python web application (Heroku)?

Asked 2017-Jun-25 at 09:35

In my web application, the user is able to draw some objects. The drawing functionality is implemented (at client-side) using d3js (SVG). The attributes of the objects (shape, coordinates, colours) are saved at server-side in a structured database.

Now, I need to render the drawings at server-side as well. I would like to reuse (at server-side) the rendering logic implemented at client-side. That is, to obtain a SVG (then convert it to PNG / PDF), given the object attributes saved in the database.

I see (at least) the following options:

install NodeJS on Heroku as well, and execute node from my Python web application. This would require JSDOM if I understood well - see this;
use ghost.py to open a local HTML file that does the actual rendering (using d3js);
send the rendered SVG from client-side to the back-end - this is a poor choice, though.

What is your recommendation?

Later edit

Ghost.py is not an option, since it requires PyQt or PySide, neither of which can be installed on Heroku. See this.

PhantomJS seems a great choice.

I wouldn't recommend the third option because going back and forth from client to server can cause issues, and best to avoid it.

The first option would work, but then you have a whole framework for one specific problem.

I like the second option, using ghost.py, because it's conceptually easy to understand, and very lightly couples with other parts of the codebase, which is always a goal in well written projects.

You can also use phantomJS to run this (or something like it), which is the same kind of approach as ghost.py, but straight to the javascript.

Install Ghost.py

You can install using 'pip install Ghost.py' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.
You can use Ghost.py like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
