| [20:41] <jono> hey, anyone here used WebKit for their UI of an app? | |
| [20:48] <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 :-) | |
| [20:49] <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 | |
| [20:50] <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 | |
| [20:51] <jono> right | |
| [20:52] <JanC> but if you are just doing a "quick port" of a web app/game to something more standalone... | |
| [20:55] <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 | |
| [21:05] <JanC> this looks like it might have useful info: http://www.aclevername.com/articles/python-webgui/ (although might be outdated...) | |
