Hi. I am really needing webkit for my app to work on mac and need an alternative for iehtmlwindow for windows. It is not working in wxpython 2.6 but part of the wxPython package. Kevin has replied to this previously to acknowledge it stopped working for 2.6. Can this be fixed? I am really hooped without this capability where there appears to be no other alternative for mac.
Many thanks
Regards,
David

As far as I can tell it has been fixed. This appears to work fine:
PyCrust 0.9.5 - The Flakiest Python Shell
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
>>> print wx.VERSION_STRING
2.6.2.1pre
>>> f = wx.Frame(None, title="WebKit")
>>> import wx.webkit
>>> wk = wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl(f, -1, "http://wxpython.org")
>>> f.Show()
True
>>> f.Close()
True

Hi Robin. Many thanks for your reply. I am going to try building 2.6.2. I see you are also a Mac user. Can a unicode 2.6.2 wxPython be built on 10.2.8 I am not getting panther 10.3.9 until next week and am still on Jaguar for time being. I managed to get into CVS so thanks for this also. I am using GCC 3.1 at present. Have you any hints for building the 2.6.2 pre-release.
Regards,
David

Unicode builds wont work on Jaguar, not all of the needed APIs are present on that version, or something like that. Also, IIRC WebKit support in wx is also only available on 10.3+.

Thanks Robin. Looks like I'll just have to wait a few more days until my upgrade is done to go forward. Are you on 10.3 or 10.4? Have you compiled wxPython into a framework? I think macpython has not yet released with a wxpython 2.6.2 pre-release.

I'm still using 10.3, however the binaries are usable on both 10.3 and 10.4.
Have you compiled wxPython into a framework?
Not yet. I've been waiting for the wxWidgets folks to decide how to answer the framework question, and then I'll use that for wxPython builds as well.
I think macpython has not yet released with a wxpython 2.6.2 pre-release.
Well it is a "pre" release.
