Does anyone know of a simple Hello World example for using the Webkit library

  • 0

Does anyone know of a simple ‘Hello World’ example for using the Webkit library in Python? I have a GTK window, and inside I want to put Webkit.

With Python/mozembed (Mozilla/Gecko), this is simple:

mozembed = gtkmozembed.MozEmbed() mozembed.load_url('http://google.com/')

..and I have already created my browser, how do I do this with WebKit?

  1. Did you check the Python bindings for the WebKit GTK+ port. In one of the directory there are demos on how to use it, including a browser: python demos/tabbed_browser.py

    You could check also the slides of a FOSDEM by Alp Toker on WebKit GTK+ (pdf) Developing hybrid Web/GTK+ rich internet applications.

    import gtk  import webkit   view = webkit.WebView()   sw = gtk.ScrolledWindow()  sw.add(view)   win = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)  win.add(sw)  win.show_all()   view.open('http://w3.org/')  gtk.main()

    That should give you good hints for starting.
