Description

Hi guys,

I used to install pywebkitgtk on my Mac using MacPorts. As a matter of fact, that was the only way which worked for me. However, I noticed that the port py27-webkitgtk is no longer available due to security concerns.

Question is: How can I import webkit as a module onto my Python program as in 'import webkit' now that py27-webkitgtk is no longer available. Kindly, help me with this issue.

Best,

Does the MP webkit-gtk3 port provide gobject bindings?

If so, you can use it as in 

import gi
gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0')
from gi.repository import WebKit2

then search for WebKit2 python examples. For instance in ​gPodder
