Which codec can help me decode the html source? - vivekagrey - Jan-09-2020
I want to show a web page(actually a google map) in tkinter
Error:UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 12619: invalid start byteimport urllib.request
from tk_html_widgets import HTMLLabel
from tkinter import *
root = tk.Tk()
text = HTMLLabel(root)
text.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
text.set_html(urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.google.com" ).read().decode("UTF-8"))
text.fit_height()
root.mainloop()

You need to take a few tutorials before attempting this.
Search YouTube for tkinter canvas tutorial

I have tried a lot but I am unable to open the google map in tkinter. help me with it. I went through but still I was unable to solve the error

from gmplot import *
from tk_html_widgets import HTMLLabel
root = tkinter.Tk()
gmap = gmplot.GoogleMapPlotter(28.5355, 77.3910, 18)
#gmap.apikey = "AIzaSyDeRNMnZ__VnQDiATiuz4kPjF_c9r1kWe8"
gmap.draw( "map_key.html" )
frame = tkinter.Frame(root, height = 200, width = 200, bg = "yellow").pack()
html = open("map_key.html", "r").read()
html_label = HTMLLabel(frame, html=html, height = 100)
html_label.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
html_label.fit_height()
root.mainloop()

The encoding is iso-8859-1, better known as latin1.
Not all webpages are encoded with utf8. You need to get this information
from headers or you just use the requests module.
import urllib.request
from tk_html_widgets import HTMLLabel
from tkinter import Tk
root = Tk()
text = HTMLLabel(root)
text.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
req = urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.google.com" )
encoding = req.headers.get_content_charset()
text.set_html(req.read().decode(encoding))
text.fit_height()
root.mainloop()But this is not the complete solution.I guess you need something which is also able to parse and execute javascript.
If you run this code, you see all JavaScripts in clear text.
