Python gtkmozembed - new-window signal

[Yuzem]

Hi, I have a very simple browser coded in python and gtkmozembed. I want to open a new window when the user clicks on a link that opens a new window. I can catch the new-window signal and open the window but I don't know how to get the url from the clicked link:

Relevant code:

def new_window(self,retval,chromemask):
gtk_new_window()

browser.connect("new-window", new_window)

Full code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import gtk
import gtkmozembed as moz

env = os.environ
winWidth = int(env['winWidth'])
winHeight = int(env['winHeight'])
url = env['url']

profileFolder = '/tmp'
profileName = 'figuritas.moz.'+env['USER']

#~ import sys
#~ sys.exit()

class FullscreenToggler(object):

def __init__(self, window, keysym=gtk.keysyms.F11):
self.window = window
self.keysym = keysym
self.window_is_fullscreen = False
self.window.connect_object('window-state-event',
FullscreenToggler.on_window_state_change,
self)

def on_window_state_change(self, event):
self.window_is_fullscreen = bool(
gtk.gdk.WINDOW_STATE_FULLSCREEN & event.new_window_state)

def toggle(self, event):
if event.keyval == self.keysym:
if self.window_is_fullscreen:
self.window.unfullscreen()
else:
self.window.fullscreen()


def get_size(widget, event):
global Width
global Height
Width = event.width
Height = event.height

def CloseWindow(widget):
"""Close the window and exit the app"""
# gtk.destroy()
gtk.main_quit() # Close the app fully

#~ def on_net_stop(self):
#~ print("got on_net_stop")

def new_window(self,retval,chromemask):
gtk_new_window()

def gtk_new_window():
# Set-up the main window which we're going to embed the widget into
win = gtk.Window() # Create a new GTK window called 'win'

win.set_title("Figuritas")
win.set_icon_from_file('/usr/share/pixmaps/figuritas.png')
win.set_position(gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER)

win.connect("configure-event", get_size)
win.connect("destroy", CloseWindow) # Connect the 'destroy' event to the 'CloseWindow' function, so that the app will quit properly when we press the close button

# Create the browser widget
moz.set_profile_path(profileFolder, profileName) # Set a temporary Mozilla profile (works around some bug)
browser = moz.MozEmbed() # Create the browser widget

#browser.connect("net-stop", on_net_stop)
browser.connect("new-window", new_window)


# Set-up the browser widget before we display it
win.add(browser)
browser.load_url(url)
browser.show() # Try to show the browser widget before we show the window, so that the window appears at the correct size (600x400)

win.set_default_size(winWidth,winHeight)
toggler = FullscreenToggler(win)
win.connect_object('key-press-event', FullscreenToggler.toggle, toggler)

win.show() # Show the window

gtk_new_window()

gtk.main() # Enter the 'GTK mainloop', so that the GTK app starts to run
print('Width='+str(Width)+' Height='+str(Height))


Thanks in advance!

Have you considered WebkitGtk? It is used by Epiphany and Midori, and is replacing other HTML engines throughout GNOME.

It can be used from python with the static python-webkit bindings for GTK2, or with the gobject-introspection bindings for GTK3 (from gi.repository import WebKit)

There's probably a way to do what you want with GtkMozEmbed, but I don't know how, and it's basically abandoned by Mozilla at this point.

Have you considered WebkitGtk?
Yes I have, the only reason I can remember for not using Webkit is the lack of support for css system colors (http://www.iangraham.org/books/xhtml1/appd/update-23feb2000.html). I really need that since I am coding an application that should look like gtk and it isn't easy to figure out how to emulate the gtk functions like shade() or darker() used in gtk themes. I get similar colors but not the same.
