write a web browser by python

Probably half year ago, I wrote a web browser application by python and the source code is just few hundred lines. That example is based on python-qt4 and webkit. If you install related qt4 and python-qt packages, you can see a lot of cool qt examples. Browser is one of them. Since I cannot run the original python one, it needs a window IE activeqt component. Therefore, I modified few lines and then I can run this example in GTA02 and my desktop. I was trying to run this example in EeePC tonight. It took me about 3 minutes work.

There are two browser examples in qt. One is by cpp and the other one is by python!

Install qt4:
sudo apt-get install qt4-demos

Check where is qt4-demos:
dpkg -L qt4-demos

Run a c++ web browser:
./usr/lib/qt4/demos/browser/browser




Install python-qt4 related packages:
sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-qt4-dev python-qt4-doc

Check where is python-qt4-doc
dpkg -L python-qt4-doc

Run a python web browser:
cd /usr/share/doc/python-qt4-doc/examples
find -name '*browser*
python activeqt/webbrowser/webbrowser.py

ERROR: The Windows commercial version of PyQt is required to run this example.

Download my pyqt-browser:
wget http://pyqt-browser.googlecode.com/files/webbrowser.tar.gz
tar zxvf webbrowser.tar.gz
python webbrowser/webbrowser.py




here is browser python code: or download it!

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit
from ui_mainwindow import Ui_MainWindow

class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
# Maintain the list of browser windows so that they do not get garbage
# collected.

self.tbAddress.insertWidget(self.actionGo, self.lblAddress)
self.addressEdit = QtGui.QLineEdit(self.tbAddress)
self.tbAddress.insertWidget(self.actionGo, self.addressEdit)

self.addressEdit.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.StrongFocus)

self.connect(self.addressEdit, QtCore.SIGNAL("returnPressed()"),

self.pb.show()
self.pb.setRange(0, 100)
self.pb.setValue(1)

def on_WebBrowser_loadFinished(self, flag):
#print 'loadFinished'
if flag is True:
self.pb.hide()
self.statusBar().removeWidget(self.pb)

def on_WebBrowser_loadProgress(self, status):
self.pb.show()
self.pb.setRange(0, 100)

def on_actionHome_triggered(self):
#print "on_actionHome_triggered"
self.WebBrowser.load(QtCore.QUrl("http://www.google.com"))
self.addressEdit.setText("http://www.google.com")


if __name__ == "__main__":
a = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
w = MainWindow()

w.show()
sys.exit(a.exec_())
