do you have the demo code loaded?
There is a demo available for wx.html2 WebView that works.
I'll post it here (Requires python 3 and wxpython phoenix).
You need two modules:
run.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Name: run.py
# Purpose: Simple framework for running individual demos

# Author: Robin Dunn

"""
This program will load and run one of the individual demos in this
directory within its own frame window. Just specify the module name
on the command line.
