Render web page using PyQt

Answer:

Qt bindings to WebKit have been added since 4.4, so you can use PyQt to script the browser (Webkit based).

Firstly, make sure you have installed the need packages:

# sudo apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-webkit python-qt4

Then you can write a simple script to test, e.g.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtWebKit import *

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

web = QWebView()
web.load(QUrl("http://www.google.com"))
web.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())
