Python + webkit + gtk on windows

Question

I am trying to do this script: PY WYSIWYG

And it says I need Gtk and WebKit. I think this is what I need:

• Gtk
• WebKit

So I downloaded WebKit but I got a folder instead of an installer or install information. Do I move it into the python folder or what do I do?

Solution 1

You need PyGTK, here is a link to the download page with install instructions for Windows: http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html

You also need the Python bindings for Webkit, not just Webkit itself. Here is a link to an unofficial Windows binary, with install instructions, and a link to an unofficial Webkit runtime for Windows near the bottom too: http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2009/12/pywebkitgtk-windows-binary.html

Solution 2

There is automated installer of (mostly) GTK libraries Python. It should have dependencies solved. It is unofficial. It contains webkit. I found it because I wanted webkit installer for Python.

I tried it and it worked like charm.

List of all plugins contained inside of it:

• PyGTK 2.17.0 with numpy support
• PyGobject 2.21.5
• PyCairo 1.8.10
• PyGtkspell, PyGTKhtml2, PyGDL 2.25.3
• PyGDA 2.29.1
• PyGST (Python Gstreamer) 0.10.20
• PyWebkitGTK 1.18
• PyClutter 1.3.2 with gst and gtk binding
• PyGTKGlExt 1.1.0
• PyGoocanvas 0.14.1
• PyGTKSourceview 2.10.0
• PyGTKImageview 1.2.0
• PyRSVG 2.30
• PyScintilla 1.99
• PMing 4.4
• Python Poppler 0.12 GPL
• VIPSCC 7.24

PS: I actually had problem with other tutorial on webgui in Python mentioned here, then I found this page and Your tutorial worked. Thanks. :)
