Install wkhtmltopdf, the webkit-based pdf rendering engine used by pdfkit:

I'm using Conda to manage my python envionments. You can too, with this:
conda create -n form-exp . activate form-exp -
Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt -
To run the demo:
python song_to_pdf.py
This should result in a song from the songs directory being formatting, and written out as both out.html and out.pdf.
python -m unittest
To be thought about. Good puzzle.
