Hey All, I have been working on this project with Alex, and am proud to say that I have been successful in getting it working. The plugin is powered by the chromium port of the webkit rendering engine via the awesomium browser embedding library.
Features: - dynamic browser node creation - browser rendering - mouse event injection - python accessible methods for changing url, zoom in/out, refresh - python callbacks for loading begin/end, title set, tooltip set, etc. - flash support Known Issues: - currently Linux only (only tested with Ubuntu 9.04 so far) - no keyboard input - history does not work properly The code can be found here: http://nickhebner.com/libavg/browsernode/awesomium-1.08.tar.bz2 http://nickhebner.com/libavg/browsernode/browsernode-0.1.tar.bz2 I would consider the code to be alpha quality at this point as it has not really been played with by anyone else at this point. If you are interested in testing it out, I would greatly appreciate any feedback you might have. The build process is rather involved as it requires you to build chromium, awesomium, and the browser plugin (in that order). See the chromium wiki and included readmes for full build instructions. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
