wx.lib.iewin alternative for Linux

wxPython Users
1

Hello,

I have a small application written in wxPython where on Windows i
embedd a browser using: wx.lib.iewin.

Is there any alternative for Linux to achieve something similar ?

wxMozilla has some python bindings for example but it's quite old and
seems discontinued.

Is there any way to embedd in a wxPython application:
epiphany
konqueror
firefox

...

any web browser ?

Thank you for your time,

Not yet, but we hope to have a wx embeddable cross-platform version of WebKit in the not too distant future.

Ok, this is quite interesting.

Now, for example if i build:
http://live.gnome.org/PyWebKitGtk

Is there any quick way to use:
import webkitgtk

inside a wxPython application ?

Any hint will be very useful and appreciated.

Thank you,

Not currently. In theory it's possible to be able to use PyGTK widgets in a wxPython app on Linux, but it would probably take a little work to make some adapters for it, and some glue to seal the leaky connections...

I've done some (very small) work toward this and my main problem was
that PyGTK doesn't have any way to work directly with GtkWidget
pointers. I had better luck writing my own low-level wrappers over the
Gtk C api with Pyrex.
