Need a simple “Hello World” example using the Webkit library in Python

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/mozemb

Answer 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.
