that's why i based mshtml.py on the Win32 GDI not gtk. > Any posibility on porting hulahop to windows? it's tricky as hell - it's a _whopping_ great build. you start with python, then you build xulrunner/win32 making sure that you enable both xpcom and python-xpcom subcomponent, _then_ you can build hulahop, theeeen you can use pyjd w/hulahop-win32. oh - and don't forget to get that proprietary compiler, to build it all, unless you want to try (like i did) building python with mingw32 (which actually worked, but the python-dev team didn't understand why it would be needed, and deemed it a waste of time, so i stopped)... not even the sugarlabs team have tackled this one. last time i looked, there _was_ a vague reference somewhere on a novell web site which had the xulrunner-xpcom build, but i don't know if it included python-xpcom as well. .... to be absolutely honest, building webkit patched with #16401 isn't much better, either: you _still_ have to have libpython2.N.dll.a (or python2N.lib if you use the proprietary compiler). so to cut a long story short, this is the whole reason why i'm doing the MSHTML build. at least you only need win32con, ctypes and a few other small standard python libraries, and you're away. with exactly the same API (that's the plan, anyway. wish me luck...) l. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
