See the demo:
But as you see we might need to impersonate the userAgent string into something like Safari (also using webkit) to shut facebook up... lol
Personally I didn't like its performance, it's nothing compared to safari (original implementator) not to mention Chrome! But talk about integration, WebkitGTK probably a bit ahead of QTWebkit by using Gstreamer (for multimedia backend) which I think still better than QT's phonon in Windows.
When both binded, HTML 5 will be a snap rather than what Opera 10 tries to do with their own way..

- Version 1.2.6 in All-In-One Installer
Update November 13, 2010

- No more zlib1.dll conflict, you can use from official one
Update August 12, 2010

- Adding locales
- Been trying webkit-1.2.3 with webM support but unable to get ffmpeg working
Update July 5, 2010
- Update to 1.2.1 which fix file's mime local open issue
- Bundling this package so it was compatible with official GTK 2.20
- I change icondatabase to be saved to %USERPROFILE%\Webkit instead of My Documents\Webkit
- Add missing icon in HTML5 player, Workaround to make inspector working
- Shrinking the dll size more.. now 6MB :)
- Glitches:
If you play HTML5 Video (currently support ogg) you shouldn't mute it, cause the sound wont come back
Timeline slider, rewind and forward button not working
SVG was disabled, previously all of my builds also failed to render svg, strange.
- Installation:
Download Official GTK 2.20 Bundle (link at bottom) and extract it to [somewhere]
Move all files in bin folder to outside (1 level) root folder
Extract webkit to [somewhere] and overwrite zlib1.dll (official version was too old)
Add that [somewhere] to PATH environment
Update July 3, 2010
- Wondering why many test was failed... svg, video, inspector..
- Those who need proper runtime (dlls) build should go to midori site http://www.twotoasts.de/
Update April 26, 2010
- Updated to 1.2.0 download page moved here. Actually the inspector is working, but somehow (in this case: midori) refuse to open inspector.html despite the mime is correct (text/x-html) strange huh!. Also fixed missing hunspell in previous version now spellcheck should working.
Update March 22, 2010
- Updated webkitgtk, now include spellchecker (english), development libs and headers, and localisation
- Inspector didn't work, spellcheck also
Update March 19, 2010
- I finally compiling webkitGTK 1.1.23 myself! I decide to cut off HTML-5 video feature (that's GStreamer bindings) to reduce the runtime size 10MB smaller than opensuse's cross-compile binary
- Still slooower than other webkit browser, probably because it using pango/glib instead of freetype/IBM's ICU?
- Now fakebook is working baby! Yeah I know the tab is buggy but nevermind, anyhow I guess it's not because useragent string eh :-/
Here is the binaries:
PyGTK AIO
Dependencies:
python
pygtk
pycairo
pygobject
Report bugs, help the windows port!
Hey, so just extract webkit gtk to your gtk install, right?

DeleteIf you're using my WebkitGTK-1.1.23 (bundle) then you need to put your python (.py) files in "bin" folder of it (to make sure that all required dlls read during execution).
ReplyDeleteAdding WebkitGTK-1.1.23's bin folder to Windows' PATH environment will works too.
hi, could you please send me a copy of WebkitGTK-1.1.23.7z? I cannot download it using the url you given.
ReplyDeletePretty thanks and here is my mail address:
juntao.qiu(#)gmail.com, just replace the "(#)" to @.

ReplyDeleteSo, just place my program into the bin folder? or place the pywebkitgtk files in the bin folder?
ReplyDeleteYour programs should in bin folder and you have 2 option for pywebkitgtk: place it in bin togather with your .py files or place it in site-packages folder of Python installation directory.
ReplyDeleteOk, makes sense! Thanks about infinity!
ReplyDeleteI tested with python2.6 at my windows xp partition, with the hope it will works as in linux...It works perfect!, thank you man!
ReplyDeleteSorry about my english, I think even with my low level you understood my comment :)
Excuse me you talk of your "WebkitGTK-1.1.23 (bundle)".. where I can find it?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to "install" webkit on my python but with other distribution I failed... I hope in you.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2554170/dumped/WebkitGTK-1.1.23+GTK.7z
ReplyDeleteSorry it got flushed :P, BTW does newer version didn't work for you?
TNK, I've found vs 1.1.16 and work... but now I'm trying to find a good reference, that I can understand because of I need to use special option for my project...
ReplyDeleteDo you a tut, a guide, a manual, a simple exemple, something at least? (TNK)
Great work. Still cannot import webkit module but I noticed the comment says SVG was disabled. Is it still unavailable? I need that feature...
ReplyDeleteAkaishuichi, you should use M$ Dependency Walker to see which dll that failed.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know about this, here is how:
-Run depends.exe (from Windoze Support Tools)
-Load python.exe
-Start profiling (F7) in program arguments fill it with a full path to your main py file (if you have py2exe apps, load the main exe instead and leave argument blank).
-Then from module pane you will see red box symbol for broken dll which related to error msg: "cannot found specified procedure"
and for SVG support, I have an idea to do partial crosscompile in Ubuntu using cross Mingw against my win32 libs, that way SVG should works... but I'm too noob to barely operate Linux right now :D
ReplyDeleteThanks TumaGonx Zakkum. I found the missing dlls and it imports now.
ReplyDeleteBut without SVG support I have to give up pygtk. I know little about cross compiling and as all I want to do is to embed a page, it seems I would spend too much time on it.
pygtk is my favorite ui library for python, it works great on Gnome but to get it work on windows is somehow painful experience...
Go for PySide? it has built-in webkit module ;)
ReplyDeleteWell I hope so, but svg support in QWebKit is experimental, it works fine for most case but does fail rendering my page. Actually I've tried all the webkit/gecko bindings for gtk/qt/wxpython. And none of them works in my case for various reasons. long story...
ReplyDeleteI'm embedding chrome frame as an activex control in wxpython. It's not a good solution at all but currently seems to be the only way to go.
If the svg issue would be fixed in qtwebkit-2.1, I might rewrite it in PySide. it looks very promising.:)
Can you help me with this?
ReplyDeleteI've put webkitgtk files inside my gtk folder and pywebkitgtk on my python2.6 folder but my program complains importing webkit.
The file has only this line "import webkit" and this error appears:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
If I move or rename the file webkit.pyd from C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\webkit, the error dissapears, but the module is useless, it's empty, it only has the default methods of a python object.
Any clue? bin folder is on the system's PATH variable and I've also tried running the program from webkit's bin folder.
My comment should help you:

I used your PyGTK AIO installer with python 2.7 and it's working now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great package!
Now I have to fix the code because it's not working right so I can't really test webkit, I can import it at least and the methods are all there!
Hi, I tried to play with pywebkitGTK and everything seems to work.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem I have is when I try to watch youtube videos. I have a white page instead of my video.
It kinds of suck cause I want to do a small video player.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem ?
Thanks.
See my last note, flash/plugins are not yet supported and what I meant with video/audio is the new html5 feature such theora/vorbis or webm streaming
