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.
