The wxHtmlWindow was too slow for me.. I had a 100KB page full of text
(and some basic formatting like <h1><h2><p>) which took about 10
seconds to render on a overclocked core 2 duo and on windows it was
much much worse.
pygtk has gtkhtml which seems faster while still lightweight and I've
been forced to switch to gtk until there's a decent fix for this
problem.

Which is exactly why the wxMozilla project has pretty much come to a
stand-still and is no longer being worked on. Every release of the
Gecko engine from Mozilla broke wxMozilla and made it too difficult to
maintain. Plus their Mac OS X support would probably never play nice
with wxMac.

Hi Richie,
Quoting Richie Ward <richies@gmail.com>:

(and some basic formatting like <h1><h2><p>) which took about 10
seconds to render on a overclocked core 2 duo and on windows it was

At the moment, you can embed IE for Win32, wxMozilla for Linux (it usually builds smoothly there, and some distros bundle it), and WebKit on Mac, to get good results. (See documancer.sf.net for an example of a wxPython app that does this.)
In the meantime, there is a cross-platform port of the WebKit rendering engine in progress, written using wx. Hopefully it won't be too long before that is good shape to be used.
Regards,
Kevin

You can get wxWebkit alpha for windows from
http://wxwebkit.wxcommunity.com/pmwiki/index.php?n=Main.Downloads
once installed you can import wx.webview
The browser window is WebView
There are alot of not implemented errors, but it works for what I need it to do.

I just tried Safari, as I understand it uses the same webkit.
There's one thing that I found very annoying (but Linux user seem to like this
the font is rendered with "cleartype",
and it's not possible to turn cleartype off.
Do you know perhaps if this possible in webkit ?
It seems a relative good alternative for Mozilla,
twice as fast, but it uses a lot more memory.
cheers,
Stef Mientki
