screenshot

I've got thousands of urls from many hosts I need to screenshot.

I can use the lib fine from the command line, but how can I integrate it into my code so I can take multiple screenshots simultaneously?

I think it's something to do with xvfb as with the answer to this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1747022/how-to-kill-headless-x-server-started-via-python but I'm not sure what exactly.
