wx.html2

[ian]

I use wx.html2 as browser in my python 3.6.2 script working ok. But when I browse a Yahoo Finance website, it says the component is not supported by the browser. Is wx.html2 an old module or needs upgrade? Thanks.

There is a new browser module available in phoenix (for python 3): https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/w...kCtrl.html
Take a look and perhaps try it out.

Here's the demo code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx

import os
import sys

try:
    dirName = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
except:
    dirName = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]))

sys.path.append(os.path.split(dirName)[0])

try:
    from agw import hyperlink as hl
except ImportError: # if it's not there locally, try the wxPython lib.
    import wx.lib.agw.hyperlink as hl
