[Sugar-devel] Gecko for Win32, pyjamas-desktop, python-hulahop

[Lucian Branescu]

2) That was my backup proposal in fact, and I ended up getting
accepted with this one http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Webified

I'd still like to make browse Browse able to use webkit (and
preferably to be able to switch between webkit and gecko), but that's
for after GSoC. I'll probably love that wrapper script :)

> 1) you'll be pleased to know that i managed to hack pyjamas-desktop
> into submission to use python-hulahop, at europython over the last
> couple of days.  i managed to get window event listeners going,
> element listeners _and_ XMLHTTPRequest async callbacks - all
> python-based.  none of which would be possible without
> hulahop.WebView.  so - thank you.

> 2) i found a page yesterday of a GSoc 2009 student who was proposing
> to port hulahop to webkit.  i put on the "talk" page that of course
> because pywebkitgtk now has python bindings to the DOM that most of
> the work is now done and so his task will be made much easier.  that's
> if GSoc 2009 is still going.  or if his proposal was accepted.
> anyway, just mentioning it.

> 3) the next step is of course to have python-hulahop running on win32,
> alongside python-xpcom, yippee, won't that be fun.  so, looking around
> for xulrunner for win32, i find that the olpc page says "Install
> Gecko: TODO" haaaaa :)  so anyway i found this:
> http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/14918.html which may
> contain the stuff that's needed. i.e. GRE (gecko runtime environment).
>  i mean, after all, firefox compiles for win32 duh so it should be
> perfectly possible to get XUL and python-xpcom, right? hmmmm :)
