Requirements for html5print module

[KipCarter]

Well since my version of ply was greater than 3.4 I modified the requirements.txt file with the following change (click hide/show):

Hide/Show

ply==3.4
# changed to...
ply>=3.4

Then added this to the list Language list in setup.py under the 3.4 version of python(click hide/show):

Hide/Show

Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6

I uninstalled the prior attempt and then installed html5print with 'python setup.py install'. This ran without error.

The outcome of this is that I haven't been able to do the command line version of html5-print nor have I been successful with any of the code examples using the IDE. The only reference to html5print in the /python/scripts folder is a file named the same that has no extension on it. The file in question has the following 4 lines:

#!C:\Python\python.exe
# EASY-INSTALL-SCRIPT: 'html5print==0.1.2','html5-print'
__requires__ = 'html5print==0.1.2'
__import__('pkg_resources').run_script('html5print==0.1.2', 'html5-print')

Each time I attempt to invoke the module in python I get this error:

Error:
                         cmd /C "set "PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8" && set "PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1" && C:\Python\python.exe c:\Users\cartken\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.2.64397\pythonFiles\ptvsd_launcher.py --default --client --host localhost --port 63492 c:\Users\cartken\Downloads\py\blabel\htmlprinttest.py "

                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The example code I am using that generated this is as follows:

from html5print import CSSBeautifier
css = '''@media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
    h2.collapse { margin: -22px 0 22px 18px;
    }
    ::i-block-chrome, h2.collapse { margin: 0 0 22px 0; } }
    '''
print(CSSBeautifier.beautify(css, 4))
@media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
    h2.collapse {
        margin              : -22px 0 22px 18px;
    }
    ::i-block-chrome, h2.collapse {
        margin              : 0 0 22px 0;
    }
}

Now, I'm not sure if this module is just not compatible with Python 3.6 (only tested by creator to 3.4). Or if I'm doing something wrong in testing.

While looking for answers to this I ran across something that I thought might be a more elegant solution using pdfkit. So, I loaded up pdfkit v0.6.1 and did this test code:

import os 
import pdfkit

pdfkit.from_file("C:\Users\cartken\Downloads\py\blabel\pngtest.html", "out.pdf")
os.startfile("out.pdf", "print")

Which gave me the unicode error below:

Error:
 File "c:\Users\cartken\Downloads\py\blabel\pdfkitprint.py", line 4
    pdfkit.from_file("C:\Users\cartken\Downloads\py\blabel\pngtest.html", "out.pdf")
                    ^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

Any input that may be helpful for me resolving either issue would be greatly appreciated.

I'm moving the reference above to a thread by itself. I had formatting errors causing the unicode errors. Once corrected another issue popped up, so it really belongs by itself.
