Embedding Chromium browser in Kivy

[Czarek Tomczak]

Hi,

If anyone is looking for a way to embed a Chromium browser in Kivy, then take 

a look at this Kivy example that uses CEF Python (python bindings for the 

Chromium Embedded Framework):

https://code.google.com/p/cefpython/wiki/Kivy (screenshot + link to sources)

The Ubuntu 64-bit binaries have just been released today and include the Kivy

example:

https://code.google.com/p/cefpython/wiki/Download_CEF3_Linux

The Windows platform is yet to be tested in OSR mode.

I am aware of kivy-berkelium that also allows to embed Chromium browser in Kivy,

but the Berkelium project hasn't been updated for many years, the last binary release

includes Chromium 11. Chromium Embedded Framework is updated very frequently

and comes with latest versions of Chromium.

Best regards,

Czarek

That's good news for a few people :)

They don't have osx release yet, but people are apparently interested in
it and it seems possible. Still that's a windows + linux platform.

Thanks for the info :)

This is the work of jegger on irc. He worked a lot to get it working
with Kivy, using the panda 3d example :)

There is now a garden package for it, have a look at:

https://github.com/kivy-garden/garden.cefpython

As the readme stated, the project is not stable, but there is at least
an example about it where people can work on :)

This error message is essential:

[0926/144337:ERROR:child_process_launcher.cc(326)] Failed to launch child process

It says that launching the "subprocess" executable failed. It's either missing or the path

to it is incorrect. The "subprocess" file should be in the same directory as "libcef.so".

The path to subprocess is set through the "browser_subprocess_path" option passed

to cefpython.Initialize().

The development of the OSR support in CEF Python along with the Kivy example

was sponsored by Rentouch GmbH. The work was initially started by Dominique

Burnand from Rentouch (nick jegger), with some help of mine it started working.

There were some other features developed later be me, like the keyboard support, 

the development of these was sponsored by Rentouch.

That's the story :)
