class Browser(QWebView):
def __init__(self):
QWebView.__init__(self)
self.loadFinished.connect(self._result_available)
self.loadStarted.connect(self._load_started)
self.page().frameCreated.connect(self.onFrame)
# ...
browser = Browser()
browser.setHtml('<html>...</html>', baseUrl=QUrl('http://www.google.com/'))
After that, i need to catch content of all external resources loaded by QWebView. I need to get content of all CSS/Javascript files. How can i do that ? Related questions: question 1, question 2
I know i need to use QNetworkAccessManager somehow, but i don't have any example to use.
We need to make custom QNetworkReply class and get results in readyRead event results.

Hi I am creating a browser in python using PyQt, I am trying to allow the user to disable all Java Script alerts which is a protected function under qwebpage called javaScriptAlert, is there a way to disable this function or protected functions in general?
in the main class where browser can be defined as
self.browser = QWebView()
and then do another class
class MyWebPage(QWebPage):
def javaScriptAlert(self):
pass
then back in the main class do
self.page = MyWebPage()
self.browser.setPage(self.page)
I have a field in a property browser where the user sets a file path. I would like for them to get a file browser when the click on the line to edit it.
the file browser is
class TargetPropertiesBrowser(QtTreePropertyBrowser):
def __init__(self):
self._variantManager = QtVariantPropertyManager()
general_group = self._variantManager.addProperty(QtVariantPropertyManager.groupTypeId(), "General")
self._outputPath = self._variantManager.addProperty(QVariant.String, Target.OUTPUT_PATH)
self._outputPath.setToolTip("Output Directory")
general_group.addSubProperty(self._outputPath)
Now lets say I have some class PopUpBrowser that defines the popup I want displayed when they click in the property browser on the file path line. I can't find an example or documentation on how to alter the behavior or the QtTreePropertyBrowser.
Edit:
If there is a signal I can connect to for when a user clicks on the line that would be fine, however I don't see such a signal in the docs. I'm also not seeing any Enum for a variant manager (or any alternate managers) that supports a widget or button that could link a widget. Sorry if I was unclear.
Connect one of the Widget's Signals (e.g. clicked()) to a slot method in your class: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/signals_slots.html
I am trying to write a Django view that will return a PDF of a URL.
I'm using PyQt webview.print to create the PDF but I am unsure how to pass the pdf to the Django response, I've tried QBuffer but I can't seem to get it right.
Here is my view so far:
def pdf(request):
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
bufferPdf = QBuffer()
bufferPdf.open(QBuffer.ReadWrite)
web = QWebView()
web.load(QUrl("http://www.google.com")) #the desired url.
printer = QPrinter()
printer.setPageSize(QPrinter.Letter)
printer.setOrientation(QPrinter.Landscape);
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter.PdfFormat)
printer.setOutputFileName("file.pdf")
def convertIt():
web.print_(printer)
print "Pdf generated"
QApplication.exit()
QObject.connect(web, SIGNAL("loadFinished(bool)"), convertIt)
bufferPdf.seek(0)
result = bufferPdf.readData(0)
bufferPdf.close()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
response = HttpResponse(result, mimetype='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=coupon.pdf'
return response
Thanks in advance.
The accepted solution from ekhumoro is incorrect. He provides you code that will run from the command line, but can never ever work within a Django view.
Many people have noted that it's not easy and possibly outright impossible to combine Django with a QT threaded application. The error that you are seeing is a classic example of what you will see when you attempt to do so.
In my own projects I tried many different permutations of organizing and grouping the code, and never did find a solution. The issue seems to be (I am not a QT expert, so if anyone has more information please correct me) that event driven QT applications (anything WebKit uses the QT event model) are built around what is effectively a singleton "QApplication". You cannot control when this sub application will quit and when it's various resources are reaped. As a result any multi-threaded applications using the library will need to very carefully manage it's resources - something that you have zero control over during the process of handling various web applications.
One possible (messy and unprofessional) solution would be to create a script that accepts command line arguments and then invoke said script from within Django as an official sub-process. You would use temporary files for output and then load that into your application. After whatever read event you'd just purge the file on disk. Messy, but effective.
I personally would love to hear from anyone who definitively knows either why this is so hard, or a proper solution - there are literally dozens of threads here on Stackoverflow with incorrect or incomplete explanations of how to approach this problem...
Here's a re-write of your example that should do what you want:
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit
class WebPage(QtWebKit.QWebPage):
def __init__(self):
QtWebKit.QWebPage.__init__(self)
self.printer = QtGui.QPrinter()
self.printer.setPageSize(QtGui.QPrinter.Letter)
self.printer.setOrientation(QtGui.QPrinter.Landscape);
self.printer.setOutputFormat(QtGui.QPrinter.PdfFormat)
self.mainFrame().loadFinished.connect(self.handleLoadFinished)
def start(self, url):
self.mainFrame().load(QtCore.QUrl(url))
QtGui.qApp.exec_()
def handleLoadFinished(self):
temp = QtCore.QTemporaryFile(
QtCore.QDir.temp().filePath('webpage.XXXXXX.pdf'))
# must open the file to get the filename.
# file will be automatically deleted later
temp.open()
self.printer.setOutputFileName(temp.fileName())
# ensure that the file can be written to
temp.close()
self.mainFrame().print_(self.printer)
temp.open()
self.pdf = temp.readAll().data()
QtGui.qApp.quit()
def webpage2pdf(url):
if not hasattr(WebPage, 'app'):
# can only have one QApplication, and it must be created first
WebPage.app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
webpage = WebPage()
webpage.start(url)
return webpage.pdf
if __name__ == '__main__':
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
url = sys.argv[1]
else:
url = 'http://www.google.com'
result = webpage2pdf(url)
response = HttpResponse(result, mimetype='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=coupon.pdf'
# do stuff with response...
I'm implementing a minimal browser in PyObjC for my study.
First, I googled about the way to use webkit from pyobjc and wrote code like below:
#coding: utf-8
import Foundation
import WebKit
import AppKit
import objc
def main():
app = AppKit.NSApplication.sharedApplication()
rect = Foundation.NSMakeRect(100,350,600,800)
win = AppKit.NSWindow.alloc()
win.initWithContentRect_styleMask_backing_defer_(
rect,
AppKit.NSTitledWindowMask |
AppKit.NSClosableWindowMask |
AppKit.NSResizableWindowMask |
AppKit.NSMiniaturizableWindowMask,
AppKit.NSBackingStoreBuffered,
False)
win.display()
win.orderFrontRegardless()
webview = WebKit.WebView.alloc()
webview.initWithFrame_(rect)
pageurl = Foundation.NSURL.URLWithString_("http://twitter.com")
req = Foundation.NSURLRequest.requestWithURL_(pageurl)
webview.mainFrame().loadRequest_(req)
win.setContentView_(webview)
app.run()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
It worked fine. But I noticed that this browser is sharing cookies with safari. I want it to be independent from my Safari.app.
So I googled again and I learned that I can override cookie-handling-methods by using NSMutableURLRequest.
Below is the second code I tested:
#coding: utf-8
import Foundation
import WebKit
import AppKit
import objc
def main():
app = AppKit.NSApplication.sharedApplication()
rect = Foundation.NSMakeRect(100,350,600,800)
win = AppKit.NSWindow.alloc()
win.initWithContentRect_styleMask_backing_defer_(
rect,
AppKit.NSTitledWindowMask |
AppKit.NSClosableWindowMask |
AppKit.NSResizableWindowMask |
AppKit.NSMiniaturizableWindowMask,
AppKit.NSBackingStoreBuffered,
False)
win.display()
win.orderFrontRegardless()
webview = WebKit.WebView.alloc()
webview.initWithFrame_(rect)
pageurl = Foundation.NSURL.URLWithString_("http://twitter.com")
req = Foundation.NSMutableURLRequest.requestWithURL_(pageurl)
Foundation.NSMutableURLRequest.setHTTPShouldHandleCookies_(req, False)
webview.mainFrame().loadRequest_(req)
win.setContentView_(webview)
app.run()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
This code show me a login screen of twitter :-)
But I couldn't login to twitter by this browser.
I input account name, password and pushed enter key. Then the browser displays the timeline of the account which I always use in Safari.app.
Yes, I know that it's proper result.
I didn't write anything about handling cookies.
And my question is on this point.
I want to know that:
How can I implement and use something like NSHTTPCookieStorage?
Can I write it in python?
Thank you.
To start with the easy part: if it is possible to do this in Objective-C it should also be possible with PyObjC.
That said, it is unclear to me if this is possible at all. How can I have multiple instances of webkit without sharing cookies? seems to indicate that it isn't although you might be able to do something through the webkit delegate.
An other alternative is to use NSURLProtocol, register a custom NSURLProtocol class for handling http/https requests and implement that using Python's urllib or urllib2. The PyDocURL example shows how to do this (that example registers a subclass for pydoc:// URLs).
More information on NSURLConnection is on Apple's website.
Updated with an implemention hint:
An alternate method might be to disable cookie storaga by NSHTTPCookieStorage (NSHTTPCookieStorage.sharedHTTPCookieStorage.setCookieAcceptPolicy_(NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyNever)). Then use the webkit resource loading delegate to handle cookies yourself:
Maintain your own cookie store (possibly using a class in urllib2)
In webView:resource:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:fromDataSource: add cookie headers based on information in that store
In webView:resource:didReceiveResponse:fromDataSource: check for "set-cookie" headers and update your own cookie store.
It shouldn't be too hard to do this, and I'd love to have this functionality as an example on the PyObjC website (or even as a utility class in the WebKit bindings for PyObjC).
In my app, each page is each Python class. From page A, I want to take some data in this page and redirect to page B.
Does Google App Engine has some ways to do it ? (I don't want to use something like: global variable or cookie for this small work)
Thanks :)
You can compute the value you need in the first handler (AHandler), then redirect to the second handler (BHandler) passing that value as a GET parameter. Finally BHandler, reads that parameter and does something with it. Here is some code:
import urllib
class AHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
name = 'Some name'
redirect('b?%s' % urllib.urlencode({'name': name}))
class BHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
name = self.request.get('name')
# do something with name
