Supposedly just an "R" rating. They seem to be technically avoiding crotch shots, which I guess was enough?

Ah... except Windows only. Ack!

But there is still CEF and CEFPython:

github.com/cztomczak/cefpython

That supports multiple platforms. Heavier, though.

Yeah, that's basically the idea I was working with.

I'm still fishing around for the right approach on this project.

Following some web searches just now, one path might be to use wxpython with wxWebConnect, which wraps the Gecko engine (which is the old Firefox web engine, prior to Quantum).

Blink, of course, is the engine in Chromium. It looks like MBPython might provide a way to work with that.

@TerryHancock mbpython looks promising!

I'm going to ask a question, and I hope I won't regret it.

I'm not really a programmer by trade, but I do know several languages (or did, once). The only one I use regularly is Python, though, so I've preferred that.

But I need to create a UI with HTML and then do callback code on links from the HTML.

I've tried a few different ways to do that with Python, none satisfactory.

[1/5]


@TerryHancock (I'm posting as I'm intrigued by the problem, I don't have a solid solution) ...that said, sounds like you want (need?) to use html for your python app's UI? I see you've investigated WebKit, maybe it's possible to access _just_ the render engine component? Looks like Blink is a forked project that fits the description.

I read it.

I think it gets human nature wrong, uses a trick of setting up a very unnatural situation to get there (single sex group in isolation), and yet, even with this condition, we know this isn't what happens.

It's part of the whole "thin veneer of civilization over savagery" view of humanity which was prevalent at the time.

People forget that *civilization* is a *natural* product of human nature: we are instinctively self-organizing.

Anyway, you haven't missed much!
