Is there a webkit2 module for python?

Question

I'm using python-webkit right now, but it's missing WebKitAuthenticationRequest, which I need. Is there a python webkit2 module, or maybe is there a way to do authentication in the old webkit?

Answer 1

You can get WebKit2 from the gi.repository module (also known as PyGObject).

Make sure you have the following packages:

• python-gobject
• gir1.2-webkit2-3.0

You should then be able to use WebKit2 -

from gi.repository import WebKit2

(Note that this module is for GTK+ 3).
