Python + webkit + gtk on windows


You need PyGTK, here is a link to the download page with install instructions for Windows: http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html

You also need the Python bindings for Webkit, not just Webkit itself. Here is a link to an unofficial Windows binary, with install instructions, and a link to an unofficial Webkit runtime for Windows near the bottom too: http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2009/12/pywebkitgtk-windows-binary.html
