Got wxWebKit working in Ubuntu

Hi,

Just a follow-up to an earlier set of questions about wxWebKit (cross platform HTML rendering control). With the brilliant help of Christoph Willing and Kevin Ollivier I have managed to get wxWebKit working in Ubuntu (Intrepid). See http://p-s.co.nz/wordpress/?p=378.

Previously the choice was IE's renderer (Windows only), wxMozilla (not working, fallen into decay, unsupported), or the standard HTML control (cannot display anything very complex at all e.g. nested tables, CSS etc). wxWebKit opens up new possibilities. I will be using it to display tabular output, attractive help files, and charts.

Is there any likelihood this will become a fully supported control in wxPython?

All the best, Grant

Yes that is the goal.
