wxPython WebView example

Question

I am writing a small reporting app using wxPython (wxAUI). I want to render my data as HTML, to be displayed in a WebView 'widget'. I am looking for a sample 'hello world' snippet that will show how to display/render an HTML string in a WebView widget - but have been unable to find a single example - and the WebView widget does not seem to be well documented. Could someone please provide a link to such an example or (better still), post a short snippet here that shows how to use the WebView widget to render an HTML string? ``` # sample html string to display in WebView widget html_string = """ Hello World! The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog

Accepted Answer

This is a simple example that works for me.

Make sure you are running the latest version of wxpython. (wxpython 2.9)

```
import wx 
import wx.html2

class MyBrowser(wx.Dialog): 
  def __init__(self, *args, **kwds): 
    wx.Dialog.__init__(self, *args, **kwds) 
    sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) 
    self.browser = wx.html2.WebView.New(self) 
    sizer.Add(self.browser, 1, wx.EXPAND, 10) 
    self.SetSizer(sizer) 
    self.SetSize((700, 700))

if __name__ == '__main__': 
  app = wx.App() 
  dialog = MyBrowser(None, -1) 
  dialog.browser.LoadURL("http://www.google.com") 
  dialog.Show() 
  app.MainLoop() 
```
