python-cschtml

Purpose:

A Python dynamic object module to interface CscHTML with Python. CscHTML is a HTML display component built on Gtk+ and libart (gnome's canvas).

Why:

I intend to write a HTML browser in python with it... Additionally it is very well designed and displays HTML rather adequately.

When:

Currently it's functional enough to load HTML documents. Not all however, since some raise bugs in cschtml. Images work with a workaround about initializing GTK, and possibly loading the shared library gdk_pixbuf (see included test program); This has been a long-standing bug I have finally traced down.

Requirements:

CscHTML (>= 1.1.0, needs gdk-pixbuf and libart for itself), Gtk+ (1.2.x), PyGtk (>= 0.6.6), Python (>= 1.5.2), Swig (>= 1.1p5).
