Thanks Anthony, using Spynner now:
import spynner
if __name__=='__main__':
url = "http://angular.github.com/angular-phonecat/step-10/app/#/phones";
browser = spynner.Browser()
browser.create_webview(True)
browser.load(url, load_timeout=60)
print browser._get_html()
# ^ Can pipe this to a file, POST it to my server or return it as a string
browser.close()
Doubt I'll find a PaaS to run it though, so might need to run a server
on my desktop that gets pinged by my app on the cloud; then provides
the new HTML.
Do you think any of your others would run on a PaaS like Heroku or OpenShift?
