Lets create a PCLinuxOS webkit browser (python)

Ok, sorry for my response, i didn't meant to offend anyone

My response was not meant to offend, either. I have my own opinions, which may come across rather strong at times.
I only wanted to say that we work on projects that appeal to us. Your post appeared to be a discouragement of that and to say that you had some project that we had to work on.

Look around. I'm sure you can find someone/something to hit - but not me. You might damage your hammer.

Hammer for webkit browser

Slax,

Its all right, I was just voicing my opinion, no offence taken,

I am trying to 'get my head around' this stuff, as i see a great potential for embedded apps as well as a great very light home-grown browser.

Sproggy, between this and looking for the answer to the error in scrotwm - I am starting to get a headache...

Great stuff, its likly to bethe weekend before I get any 'quality time' for this, although I have been looking at the 'pygtk-demo' app trying to make sense of it....

Currently failing to lol

Jase,
Got a bit of stress here, too. I'm not used to python. But I'm pushing ahead; maybe I can get something made that works.

Ok I found another script - I am hoping we can mash these things together to get somthng really cool going

This example will wither open at www.google.com or if you use the command line you san ass the web address at the end as an argument (we could use surfraw and a box that takes cli instruction from the panel...)

eg appname http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum although this appears to be less stable than the shorter script

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: latin-1
import os
import string
import sys
import gtk
import webkit

DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.google.com' # Change this as you Wish


class SimpleBrowser: # needs GTK, Python, Webkit-GTK
def __init__(self):
self.window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
self.window.set_position(gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS)
self.window.connect('delete_event', self.close_application)
self.window.set_default_size(350, 20)
vbox = gtk.VBox(spacing=5)
vbox.set_border_width(5)
self.txt_url = gtk.Entry()
self.txt_url.connect('activate', self._txt_url_activate)
self.scrolled_window = gtk.ScrolledWindow()
self.webview = webkit.WebView()
self.scrolled_window.add(self.webview)
vbox.pack_start(self.scrolled_window, fill=True, expand=True)
self.window.add(vbox)
def _txt_url_activate(self, entry):
self._load(entry.get_text())
def _load(self, url):
self.webview.open(url)
def open(self, url):
self.txt_url.set_text(url)
self.window.set_title('%s' % url)
self._load(url)
def show(self):
self.window.show_all()
def close_application(self, widget, event, data=None):
gtk.main_quit()


if __name__ == '__main__':
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
url = sys.argv[1]
else:
url = DEFAULT_URL
gtk.gdk.threads_init()
browser = SimpleBrowser()
browser.open(url)
browser.show()
gtk.main()

I'll check out this code and see if I can come up with something.
