using tkinter to display html

[Stephen M. Gava]

Hi all,

I prefer using tkinter to wxpython (so sue me :) and i need to display a
lot of html in a particular app. does anyone know if one of the existing
add on tk html widgets have been wrapped for tkinter already?

TIA for any reply,
Stephen

The following thread has various ideas in it:

I know wxpython has widgets specifically made to display html or even
wrap Internet Explorer, ActiveX and more.

Good luck!

You could always use a real web browser:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open _new("index.htm l")

Why not? Did you try to use tkhtml [1]_ with python wrapper [2]_.
IMHO it works pretty nice.

PySol has an HTML viewer. Here's a link to some discusison about it:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2006-January/000614.html

PySol is GPL, so if your application is also GPL, then it might be an
option.

i found the tkhtml page but it hasn't been updated since 2002 and the
mailing list doesn't even exist anymore. so unsure of the future on that.

ah ok, thanks. i did find this but thought it was unrelated to the widget
metionned on the old hwaci.com page and that there weren't any existing
tkinter bindings for this project.

so the tix.sourceforge .net bindings are for this up to date widget,
including the current V3 that supports css and such? (thinking aloud,
i'll check that out myself.)

thanks mate,
stephen.
