Update:
I have found that if I delay the time between when I load a new url into
IEHtmlWindow and then do the shutil.move it works fine. Such as:
self.PDFPanel.Navigate('about:blank') #Must empty pdf frame so file is
not locked
Temp_dlg = wx.MessageDialog(self, 'Waiting for delay',
'Time delay',
wx.OK | wx.ICON_INFORMATION
)
Temp_dlg.ShowModal()
Temp_dlg.Destroy()
shutil.move(fileName, 'C:\\NewName.pdf')
Surely there is a more eloquent way to accomplish this?
