[wxPython-users] Why doesn't wxWidgets have a general purpose multi-platform HTML browser widget?

[Jorgen Bodde]

I agree we do need a good HTML viewer, wxMozilla would be the best
choice. I did get wxMozilla to compile after writing my own CMAKE
script for it because the makefile was so buggy (even simple batch
file based?) after getting it to compile, it worked for 50%.
Unexpected errors, crashes etc. So I decided to stop using it.

I like HTML window for general viewing, for normal apps I would not
consider using wxMozilla but I am still thinking about writing my own
RSS feed reader, and for that I do need a decent HTML renderer. I
simply *hate* the IE window based Windows only RSS feed readers, most
of the time the javascript screws up something and IE renders it all
wrong. wxMozilla is a lot more consistent in it's rendering.

Anyway, it is often asked on the wx-forum as well it would surely be
nice to have it as component in either wxPython or wxWidgets and as
binding to wxPython.
