  Description     : Python DOM (HTML5) Bindings to Webkit

 WebKit is a web content engine, derived from KHTML and KJS from KDE, and
 used primarily in Apple's Safari browser.
 .
 It is able to display content such as HTML, SVG, XML, and others. It also
 supports DOM, XMLHttpRequest, XSLT, CSS, Javascript/ECMAscript and more.
 .
 This package contains a python module which provides a simple, single
 stand-alone window, where access to the full features of HTML5 are
 provided, directly, to python.  Features and functions which are normally
 the exclusive domain of javascript are made available in a 100% compatible
 way: Webkit "javascript" Timers, HTTPRequest, onmouseover and other callbacks,
 CSS properties, appendChild, getElementsByTagName: everything that can be
 expected to be accessed via javascript is made available to python
 programmers.
 .
 There are several "ports" of PythonWebkit: this module contains the GTK2
 version.  The PythonWebkit bindings are faster than the GObject bindings
 because they are direct; they are also feature-comparable to Javascript;
 they are also more stable than the GObject bindings.
