Getting wxWebKit working on Ubuntu (and Windows etc)

Hi,

In a previous email Robin answered one of my questions about wxWebkit:

> Is wxWebkit a good option?
  
I'm sure it will be. There are still some rough edges but depending on your needs it may be a good option now.

Since then I have been trying to get a version working on Ubuntu Intrepid. For a detailed account of progress so far there is wxWebkit on Intrepid | pssst ….

I am really hoping there is an easier way of getting it working. Ideally, there would be a deb file which just works. It would be wonderful to be able to write:

self.browser.LoadURL("http://www.p-s.co.nz")

... and have it display. What is the best way forward. I am not afraid of some hard work but I would like to aim my efforts in the right direction.

Thanks in advance, Grant

The webview .so extension and .py file should have been put in the same directory with the libwxwebkit.so library, which is in <wkRoot>/WebKitBuild/<configuration>/. Configuration should be "Release" unless you changed it. If the files are there, put that directory on your PYTHONPATH, and you should be able to load the module.

Regards,

Kevin
