Using

Firstly grab the pywebkitgtk package from your distribution. If you want to build from source, follow the steps below.

Grab the source tarball at http://code.google.com/p/pywebkitgtk/downloads/list and extract it.
Build the library by following the command lines below:

$ ./configure --prefix=/pywebkitgtk/install/path
$ make
$ make install

That's it. As an extra step, you can try the demo browser by following this step:

$ python demos/tabbed_browser.py

If you have installed pywebkitgtk in a non-standard location (i.e. not in /usr or /usr/local), you might want to use the following:

$ PYTHONPATH=/pywebkitgtk/install/path python demos/browser.py
