Isn't the interesting part the CSS renderer PlutoBook (C++) rather than the Python wrapper here?

Yes definitely, its does the heavy lifting and is essentially a new from scratch HTML rendering engine.
It needs javascript support so charting libraries work but they mention working toward that in the roadmap.
It's more like PrinceXML than a browser. This is great Prince is the gold standard for HTML print out and the only engine to fully support Paged Media level 3 last time I looked. Normal browsers don't seem to care as much about full print css support so Prince has a monopoly here and is not cheap.
