| jono | hey, anyone here used WebKit for their UI of an app? | 20:41 |
|---|---|---|
| JanC | jono: rickspencer3 did | 20:48 |
| jono | JanC, yeah, I showed me a while back, I am just trying to figure it out myself now | 20:48 |
| jono | I wish I remembered what he did :-) | 20:48 |
| jono | I created http://askubuntu.com/questions/97430/connect-webkit-webview-form-to-a-python-callback to document this if people know | 20:49 |
| JanC | he uses webkit + HTML5 + CSS + JS + JQuery | 20:49 |
| jono | yup | 20:49 |
| JanC | honestly, I don't think it's really a good idea (yet?) to write apps like that | 20:50 |
| JanC | because I'm pretty sure it has usability & accessibility issues | 20:50 |
| jono | right | 20:51 |
| JanC | but if you are just doing a "quick port" of a web app/game to something more standalone... | 20:52 |
| JanC | the "obvious" "easy" solution to handle this is to run a local HTTP server, of course ;) | 20:55 |
| commandoline | In Qt it's possible to call python methods from javascript (QtWebKit), no idea on GTK though. http://pysnippet.blogspot.com/2010/01/calling-python-from-javascript-in-pyqts.html | 20:55 |
| JanC | this looks like it might have useful info: http://www.aclevername.com/articles/python-webgui/ (although might be outdated...) | 21:05 |
