WebkitDFB is an experimental port to allow the webkit web browser engine to use DirectFB (http://directfb.org). It is lightning-quick to start up (no large widget set to load), yet has the potential to provide full HTML5 functionality. The PythonWebkit project, http://www.gnu.org/software/pythonwebkit brings 300+ DOM objects and 2,000+ fully W3C-compliant python-based DOM functions to webkit, making python effectively a peer of javascript (doc.body.style, getElementsByTagName, appendChild, setTimeout, XMLHttpRequest, onclick etc.)
These two projects have been brought together in the same source repository. If startup time and CPU usage is important (as it is on embedded systems) then please do consider helping with WebkitDFB by funding its ongoing development and/or helping Denis out. If startup time and CPU usage and _python_ are important... :) in this rather short announcement, it's easy to miss the significance: yes, webkit the web browser engine, directfb the direct framebuffer engine, and python the utterly cool and beautiful programming language have been combined into the same package and sentence. more information at http://www.gnu.org/software/pythonwebkit. l. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
