The application is just a relatively thin wrapper around a browser - it's presenting an existing web application, just in its own window rather than in a standard browser window. I'm looking for advice on a good GUI toolkit to use.

A bit of Google searching found an embedded browser widget in PyQt, but the examples I tried didn't work - it looks like the QWebView class is deprecated and has been removed in the current version of PyQt. I haven't really found any other examples (there's a "embedding a web page in Tkinter" example I found, but it looks like it's just doing rendering, not embedding a full browser - which I need as the site I want to access uses CSS/JavaScript).

Since the application is a web app have you looked at:
https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview + https://github.com/dddomodossola/remi
or at
https://flexx.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
These basically wrap the platform's web engine so you can write stand alone desktop apps but coding in Python (which gets translated into HTML/JS).
