Ramiro,

Google was dropping labs and my fear was it would drop too many other
things.

PyQT is miserably hard, partly because QT was not written with Python
in mind
and partly because the author of the book did nothing to make his book
easy
(there are tutorials, of course). I thought that PySide by Nokia might
be replacing
PyQt. It seems to work with some things in PyQt, has no licensing
fees, and
seems to have something related to HTML and CSS. Does arankuda work
with
PySide?

I am expecting many capabilities to be added to EPUB. One thing is to
make it
work in some way with NLTK and certainly interactively.

What do you find more difficult in PyQt than in PySide? They're
practically the same thing.. I haven't tryied it, but Aranduka might
work with PySide without too much effort. Try changing the "from PyQt4
import [...]" line to "from PySide import [...]".

What book are you talking about?

The summerfield book. He wrote Programming Python 3 which indicates he
actually can write readable books.

It looks as if there may be two ways of "rendering" html/css in pyqt.
* An html subset in qt only (?)
* pyqtwebkit

If pyqtwebkit was not used, why not. It would seem it would have
better functionality since, apparently, webkit can be used to make
current browser.

In main.py's line 7th you can see that QtWebKit was used indeed:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, uic, QtWebKit, QtNetwork

Sorry, but I don't get what are you trying to do or what are your
doubts. Can you explain yourself better please?

Thanks
