wxBrowser

wxBrowser
NOTE! (2005-08-31) I "forgot" to update all of the pages in the sample application. If you've tried accessing it you've also probably noted that it was not possible to add new contacts. That particular menu item pointed to version 1 of the sample app and therefore didn't work as expected. Sorry about that...

wxBrowser is an application browser based on the wxWidgets GUI framework. It's similar to a regular old web browser only, instead of reading HTML and displaying content it reads XML and executes presentation logic (wxPython) in a client side application.

Not much in the way of documentation has been produced yet but there is a tutorial (written for 0.3), at least one screenshot (0.2) available and an introduction and tutorial (PDF) that tries to explain most of what you'll need to know to get started (written for 0.2).

wxBrowser 0.3.0 released
(2005-08-28) A new version is available at SourceForge for download. The updated sample application can be found at http://www.pulp.se/wx/contacts/v2/.

NOTE! (2005-06-30) I just came back from EuroPython in Gothenburg and have decided to put in some more work on wxBrowser during the summer.
However, someone at the conference tried it out on Linux and unfortunately it didn't work. I was afraid that it wouldn't work well on Windows either since there's been one new version of Python and two new versions of wxPython since I last worked on it. But I just tried it with Python 2.4 and wxPython 2.6.1 on Windows 2000 and that seems to work, so that's a relief.

Anyway, the 1000 or so lines of code that I have is likely to change a lot during the coming weeks. If you heard my lightning talk at EuroPython and want to help please send an e-mail to johan@pulp.se
