PrisPy - The PyGTK+Webkit clone of Mozilla Prism!

Hello,

I have been working with pywebkitgtk recently, and I am trying to get cookies working... did you ever figure out how to access them?

Thanks.

Not yet. PyGObject is still rough around the edges, and so I have thus far been unable to port PrisPy to it. Until then there is no way to use cookies with Webkit.

I have some issues with Prispy:

Instead of Python python2 should be used.

If I create a new shortcut without the statusbar and with desktop file, I get the error:

File "/usr/bin/prispy", line 155, in save_config
confFile.write("name = '"+name+"'\nurl = '"+url+"'\nuserAgent = '"+userAgent+"'\nwantStatusbar = "+self.wantStatusbar)
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects

If I create it without desktop file and with statusbar, it is created sucessfully.

Is the /usr/bin/prispy file the whole sourcecode?
If there is a reop somewhere, I would like to take a look and fix some issues, if possible.

Regards
Phylu

I apologize for the errors, my university studies have kept me busy and I have not done much with this. PrisPy.py is the whole source code, but its available on github (cant remember if i did anything different with that version). Feel free to update it and fix the bugs. I'll see if I can find some time to fix some as well.

Don't mind. I will see, if I get some time I will try to work on it. But unfortunately I am learning for some university exams right now as well.

I fixed some things and created a pull request on github.

I miss still two things:
Cookies support. I would like to stay logged in even when closing the programme.
Save the size of the browser window for the next restart.

And the rendering of the webpages is a bit slow compared to my real web browsers. I think this is because of the Python web rendering engine, but if there are any alternatives, I would like to look into it.

I'll probably check it out today or tomorrow and see about merging it. Sorry about the delay.

As said before in this thread, the only way to do it is with GObject Introspection, which I do have a local copy of, though it is not working yet since it seems webkit's gobject introspection support can be rough around the edges.

This would be rather easy. When the window is closed, instead of running just destroy, write the width and height to a config file and then check that when you start back up.

It actually wouldn't be python's fault, its probably Webkit's fault since all python does is glue the different parts of the UI together.

No problem.

Would be really great!

Do you want to work on it, or shall I?

This looks really neat.
