Qt.py QWebView

[Jesse Kretschmer]

Hello,

I just decided to make the jump into Maya2018 and I was playing with Qt.py to help with the transition. I just noticed that it is entirely missing QWebView. I tried both QtWebEnginWidgets and QtWebKitWidgets, but I see now that neither is implemented.

Does anyone have a workaround? 

I'm using ftrack and some of the "free" web-widgets in my tools, and I'd like to keep using them. I see some recent activity on the github, so I have to imagine that Qt.py is still being developed.

Cheers,

Jesse

Unfortunately QWebView isn't portable across Qt 4 and 5, that's why it isn't part of Qt.py​

I found QWebEngineView does what I need. It looks like spyder-ide/qtpy is using the QWebEngineView. I've made a pull request.

Well, QWebEngineView is also not portable. :) It's only available in Qt 5.​

Certainly not directly between versions, but is that not why Qt.py exists? 

QWebEngineView is the new QWebView. It would be really convenient for me to a single place to access a WebView widget across all my platforms. From what Fredrik posted in my pull-request, I should be able to handle some of this in the QtSiteConfig.py. I'm looking into that now.

I had good success with a custom QtSiteConfig.py. It required the latest 1.1.0, but I've now started porting my tools. After the QtSiteConfig changes, the QWebEngineView was easily loaded (even if it was really a QWebView in some environments).

from Qt.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView as QWebView

It would be great if we could have QtWebEngineWidgets directly available in Qt.py.
