I've searched on Google and StackOverflow but am having trouble finding the answer, even though it seems like it should be easy to do.
How can I use Python to load a URL into its own window, rather than in a browser? I imagine this should be trivial in Tkinter or some other GUI package.
Yeah. that's very easy with QWebView in PyQt/PySide
You basically instantiate a new QWebView and pass the url to it
QWebView.load(QUrl('http://www.www.pythoncentral.io'))
you can read more here
http://pythoncentral.io/pyside-pyqt-tutorial-qwebview/
and also in the pyQt docs
http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qwebview.html
A new option would be: pywebview
pywebview is a lightweight cross-platform wrapper around a webview
component that allows to display HTML content in its own native GUI
window. It gives you power of web technologies in your desktop
application, hiding the fact that GUI is browser based.

I am developing the GUI for my application using wxpython and have most of the features down, except in the main frame/window I want to have a box for choosing a file (in this case, the input will have to be an excel file). Something similar to the standard filebrowser that is accessed whenever you choose "open" from a menu.
Below is an image to show exactly what I want...
You probably want a wx.FileDialog. It provides access to the default file dialog of the OS your app is running in. You can see an example of how it's used in the wxPython demo package. This tutorial also has some screenshots and sample code:
http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/06/26/the-dialogs-of-wxpython-part-1-of-2/
The screenshot you show appears to be an interface to actually open the dialog. You can easily create that using sizers and basic widgets. Then just bind the open button to a handler that will show the dialog.
You might also want to take a look at the FileBrowseButton from wx.lib.filebrowsebutton (also in the demo).
There are a few other related widgets which you might be interested in too: wx.DirDialog, MultiDirDialog or wx.GenericDirDialog.
Assuming you know the basics of wxPython you can use wx.GenericDirCtrl and wx.ListCtrl to make nice browser
I'm using Qt Designer to create UI designs which I'm then converting into python code. Since I'm quite new to Qt I'd like to ask: is there a way I could implement a multi-screen application? I.e. having a next button clicked and getting a new set of options/widgets etc within the same window.
To be honest, I was developing using Kivy, and as slick as that is (especially with multiple screens) it depends on PyGame, which proves to be an enormous portability headache, so I had to switch to something else, and PyQt was the next feasible option (or so it seems).
It's called a QWizard. It is not called a multi screen application, but if you search for wizard instead, you find lots of information.

So my App needs to be able to open a single webpage(and it must be from the internet and not saved) in it, and specifically I'd like to use the Tkinter GUI toolkit since it's the one i'm most comfortable with. On top of that though, I'd like to be able to generate events in the window(say a mouse click) but without actually using the mouse. What's a good method to go about this?
EDIT: I suppose to clarify this a bit, I need a way to load a webpage, or maybe even a specific java applet into a tkinter widget or window. Or if not that perhaps another method to do this where I can generate mouse and keyboard events without using either the mouse of the keyboard.
If you want it to be opened inside your GUI use Bryans suggestion, if you just want to open a webpage you can use:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("page.html")
Tkinter does not have a widget that can render a web page.
So i found this module named pywebview
pip install pywebview
sample code:-
import webview
webview.create_window('duckduckgo', 'https://www.duckduckgo.com')
webview.start() #this will open the webpage in a new window
You should use pywebview it is very easy only code three lines .
I used it but in my case it didn't work everywhere. Comment and let me know if it works for you.
The best option that works everywhere is PyQt's QtWebview module. You might run into one problem that is to rename the window, so here is the solution
web.setWindowTitle(title)
You can use all the functions as it is but just replace window or self with web like the above code.
Is there any way to open a browser based editor (such as CKEdit, tinymce, or any other HTML + JavaScript editor) in a Python window (perhaps wx.Python) rather than in a browser?
Thank you in advance.
I suggest you try using Webkit python bindings.
You can load an arbitrary Webview and put it anywhere as a GTK widget:

I'm not sure about WX.
One complexity you will find is how to get the values from JS into Python.
Here's an article describing a trick to call the sandboxed JS from Python:

Good luck!
print "hellp world" :)
i want to ask you if exist a function or class hwo can show the html code like the browser's jobe
thx
There is QtWebKit Module within Qt. It incorporates webkit rendering engine. Whereas you can get access to Qt classes using python binding, you can use Qt official manual as help. Qt designer is also included into pyqt - you can try using it to design your application's GUI (I'm almost sure you'll be able to find web browser component or similar there).
As for using html tags to decorate labels and other components showing text, you can refer to this question.
