Hi Luke -- welcome to savannah and GNU.  I approved the project submission.

(since rms already officially dubbed the project GNU, I didn't see much point in looking at the code in detail; and besides, presumably pythonwebkit will only be a subset of webkit, so I wouldn't know what to review.  The webkit.org web site has some obvious issues for GNU ("open source", emphasizing MacOSX and Windows, etc.) which presumably won't propagate to the GNU pythonwebkit web site & package. :)

Happy hacking,

While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: PythonWebkit
  • System Name:  pythonwebkit
  • Type: Official GNU software
  • License: GNU Lesser General Public License (The PythonWebkit project is an enhancement to the existing

(rather large) Webkit project.

Some files in the WebKit library have contributions made under GPL-compatible BSD licenses.)




Description:

The PythonWebkit project provides full W3C DOM bindings
to Webkit, the Free Software Web Browser engine, for use
with GTK, Qt4 and more.

Existing Webkit Python bindings are incomplete or slow;
the PythonWebkit project makes python the equal of
javascript by providing full access to all W3C DOM
functions, events and properties (such as onclick and
getElementsByTagName).

The PyQt4 bindings provide a means to run and interact with
javascript: even if it were possible to execute javascript
snippets from python to provide access to full W3C DOM
functionality in this way, it is still much slower than
direct python access to Webkit's DOM.

PyWebkitGTK provides nothing more than a means to pull up
webkit in a GTK window: there is no way to interact with
the DOM.

Webkit-GObject provides incomplete bindings that python
gobject can in turn bind to; even if the project were
complete, there would still be an extra layer of
indirection, and Webkit-GObject has been limited to
GTK.

PythonWebkit therefore provides the missing link between
python and Webkit's DOM functions, making it possible to
develop powerful graphical applications quickly and easily
in Python.
