A few responders have ask for this information.
Platform can be linux or Windows.
Currently: Linux runs Python 2.7
and Windows runs 2.6.3;
Windows can be XP and above.
My program is built with Python and Tkinter
I convert the program using py2exe.
There are no special requirements.
The client will design around my capabilities.
The html page will simply be a display of data.
Right now I need some way to display
15 to 20 lines of html in its own window or
as part of my screen.
I am trying to avoid using any commercial
browser.
GTK has a webkit, and QT has a webkit and
Suse, wich I use has libwebkitgtk-1_0-0.
All at some time I will have to look at all.
I thought If someone had done this already
The learning curve could be lowered.
Thanks for the interest,
