I am able to install both of these packages on my mac at home and it works well.
I am trying to install on windows 7 at work and it fails. PDFKit is trying to
find the wkh package and it cannot. I have entered the full path to the exe for
the environment variables and the error below is spit out.
If I explicitly cd into the directory that has the executable the script works
fine
import os
path='C:\\wkhtmltopdf\\bin\\'
os.chdir(path)
pdfkit.from_string('Hello!', 'out.pdf')
Loading pages (1/6) #this works after cd into the exe directory
Where can I specify the path to the executable?

I don't know your particular module, but generally, you want modules
installed on your sys.path. Either install it there, or add the
directory to sys.path (which is a list)
I'd suggest doing the latter, then figure whether a reinstall is called
for. It looks like you installed it in the root directory of C:, rather
than in the site-packages.
