I actually misunderstood your question about embedding a browser and thought for a while about what it would take to write or port a serious browser to use tkinter as its graphics layer. The resulting picture wasn't pretty. I wonder whether it's feasible in wxpython. I like the idea of a browser-like portable gui toolkit. Instead of merely wrapping some other widget set, you'd write your interface as an XML file using HTML-like interface elements. You'd have callbacks on the form submit buttons and optionally on the other input elements, and you could get at the elements through the XML DOM if you were so inclined (sort of like the HTML DOM that browsers expose through Javascript). Implementations could run on top of Tk, GTK, native Windows widgets, or whatever. The language probably shouldn't be exactly HTML (e.g. it should have some additional widgets), but maybe it could be close enough that people wanting to do so could use the various wysiwyg web-layout programs that are out there, to put interfaces together. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
