Question

I’m trying to do a python(2.7)/GTK+ app, and I have a window, containing a WebKit WebView.

from gi.repository import Gtk, WebKit

class MainWindow:
    def __init__( self ):
        self.builder = Gtk.Builder()
        self.builder.add_from_file("youtubeWindow.ui")
        self.main_window = self.builder.get_object("main_window")
        self.scrl_window = self.builder.get_object("scrl_window")
        self.webview = WebKit.WebView()
        self.scrl_window.add(self.webview)
        self.webview.show()  
        self.webview.open("http://youtu.be/o-akcEzQ6Y8")  
        self.main_window.show_all()      
        Gtk.main()     


tube_window = MainWindow() 

When I run my app I get the folowing error:

ERROR: Invalid browser function table. Some functionality may be
restricted. java version “1.6.0_24” OpenJDK Runtime Environment
(IcedTea6 1.11.3) (6b24-1.11.3-1ubuntu0.12.04.1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server
VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
** Message: console message: undefined @0: TypeError: ‘undefined’ is not an object

The page loads, but I can’t play my video 🙁 (The video box is all black and doesn’t have any play button, nothing)

The UI is made in Glade and the XML file generated by Glade, youtubeWindow.ui is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<interface>
  <!-- interface-requires gtk+ 3.0 -->
  <object class="GtkWindow" id="main_window">
    <property name="can_focus">False</property>
    <property name="type_hint">menu</property>
    <child>
      <object class="GtkScrolledWindow" id="scrl_window">
        <property name="visible">True</property>
        <property name="can_focus">True</property>
        <property name="shadow_type">in</property>
        <child>
          <placeholder/>
        </child>
      </object>
    </child>
  </object>
</interface>

Can you please help me?
Thanks!

I found a solution that works for me. I used

import gtk 
import webkit

instead of:

from gi.repository import Gtk, WebKit
