It works for me:

regression=# create user ro;
CREATE ROLE
regression=# \c - ro
You are now connected to database "regression" as user "ro".
regression=> create table t1 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE

[ in another session, as superuser ]

regression=# revoke create on schema public from public;
REVOKE

[ back to first session ]

regression=> create table t2 (f1 int);
ERROR:  permission denied for schema public

Are you sure you revoked the privilege in the same database the read
only user is working in?

Not unless you manually set things up that way.
