Python bindings to webview

webview

Python extension that provides API for the webview library.

Getting started

Install the bindings:

pip install webview

Try the following example:

import webview

w = webview.WebView(width=320, height=240, title="Hello", url="https://google.com", resizable=True, debug=False)
w.run()

You may use most of the webview APIs:

# Change window title
w.set_title("New title")
# Make window fullscreen
w.set_fullscreen(True)
# Change initial window background color
w.set_color(255, 0, 0)
# Inject some JS
w.eval("alert('hello')")
# Inject some CSS
w.inject_css('* {background-color: yellow; }')
# Show native OS dialog
file_path = w.dialog(0, 0, "open file", "")
# Post funciton to the UI thread
w.dispatch(some_func)
w.dispatch(lambda: some_func())
# Control run loop
while w.loop(True):
  pass

Dispatch is currently only a stub and is implemented as direct function call. Also, proper Python-to-JS object mapping is not implemented yet, but is highly
