I need to show a webpage (a complex page with script and stuff, no static html) in a frame or something. It's for a desktop application, I'm using python 2.6 + wxPython 2.8.10.1. I need to catch some events too (mostly about changing page). I've found some samples using the webview module in a gtk application, but I couldn't have it works on wx.

You can embed IE, but I think that's about it. wxWebKit is working on a wx add-on to use WebKit as an embedded browser in wx, but I think it's still a work in progress.

There is a commercial solution for this called wxWebConnect that uses Gecko (the Mozilla engine). I've never used it myself because i'm waiting for the wxWebKit project to be ready to use but it looks pretty good although perhaps a little overkill for your needs.

I think wxWebConnect is free? It's source can be downloaded, and I can't find a price or sales info. I think Kirix used it in a commercial project (a data-mining app) and released the source.

yup, just noticed wxwebconnect is released under wxWindows Library License Version 3.1, so yay :) thank you all for the info, i'll give it a try.

just figured out there's no python wrappers for wxwebconnect, i will try to build wxwebkit after all.
