Detailed Description

The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage class provides an object to view and edit web documents.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage holds a main frame responsible for web content, settings, the history of navigated links and actions. This class can be used, together with PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame , to provide functionality like PySide.QtWebKit.QWebView in a widget-less environment.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage ‘s API is very similar to PySide.QtWebKit.QWebView , as you are still provided with common functions like PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.action() (known as PySide.QtWebKit.QWebView.pageAction() () in PySide.QtWebKit.QWebView ), PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.triggerAction() , PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.findText() and PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.settings() . More PySide.QtWebKit.QWebView -like functions can be found in the main frame of PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage , obtained via the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.mainFrame() function. For example, the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.load() (), PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.setUrl() () and PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.setHtml() () functions for PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage can be accessed using PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame .

The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.loadStarted() signal is emitted when the page begins to load.The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.loadProgress() signal, on the other hand, is emitted whenever an element of the web page completes loading, such as an embedded image, a script, etc. Finally, the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.loadFinished() signal is emitted when the page contents are loaded completely, independent of script execution or page rendering. Its argument, either true or false, indicates whether or not the load operation succeeded.

Using QWebPage in a Widget-less Environment

Before you begin painting a PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage object, you need to set the size of the viewport by calling PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.setViewportSize() . Then, you invoke the main frame’s render function ( QWebFrame.render() ). An example of this is shown in the code snippet below.

Suppose we have a Thumbnail class as follows:

class Thumbnailer (QObject):
    def __init__(self, url):

        QObject.__init__(self)
        self.page = QWebPage()
        self.page.mainFrame().load(url)
        page.loadFinished[bool].connect(self.render)


    finished = Signal()


    def render(self):
        self.page.setViewportSize(self.page.mainFrame().contentsSize())
        image = QImage(self.page.viewportSize(), QImage.Format_ARGB32)
        painter = QPainter(image)

        self.page.mainFrame().render(painter)
        painter.end()

        thumbnail = image.scaled(400, 400)
        thumbnail.save("thumbnail.png")

        self.finished.emit()

The Thumbnail ‘s constructor takes in a url . We connect our PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage object’s PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.loadFinished() signal to our private slot, render() .

QObject.__init__(self)
self.page = QWebPage()
self.page.mainFrame().load(url)
page.loadFinished[bool].connect(self.render)

The render() function shows how we can paint a thumbnail using a PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage object.

def render(self):
    self.page.setViewportSize(self.page.mainFrame().contentsSize())
    image = QImage(self.page.viewportSize(), QImage.Format_ARGB32)
    painter = QPainter(image)

    self.page.mainFrame().render(painter)
    painter.end()

    thumbnail = image.scaled(400, 400)
    thumbnail.save("thumbnail.png")

    self.finished.emit()

We begin by setting the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.viewportSize() and then we instantiate a PySide.QtGui.QImage object, image , with the same size as our PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.viewportSize() . This image is then sent as a parameter to painter . Next, we render the contents of the main frame and its subframes into painter . Finally, we save the scaled image.

If frame is a null pointer then navigation to a new window is requested. If the request is accepted PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.createWindow() will be called.

The default implementation interprets the page’s PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.linkDelegationPolicy() and emits linkClicked accordingly or returns true to let PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage handle the navigation itself.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.action(action)
Parameters:actionPySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.WebAction
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QAction

Returns a PySide.QtGui.QAction for the specified QWebPage.WebAction action .

The action is owned by the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage but you can customize the look by changing its properties.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage also takes care of implementing the action, so that upon triggering the corresponding action is performed on the page.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.bytesReceived()

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.userAgentForUrl(url)
Parameters:urlPySide.QtCore.QUrl
Return type:unicode

This function is called when a user agent for HTTP requests is needed. You can reimplement this function to dynamically return different user agents for different URLs, based on the url parameter.

The default implementation returns the following value:

“Mozilla/5.0 (%Platform%; %Security%; %Subplatform%; %Locale%) AppleWebKit/%WebKitVersion% (KHTML, like Gecko) %AppVersion Safari/%WebKitVersion%”

On mobile platforms such as Symbian S60 and Maemo, “Mobile Safari” is used instead of “Safari”.

In this string the following values are replaced at run-time:

  • %Platform% and %Subplatform% are expanded to the windowing system and the operation system.
  • %Security% expands to U if SSL is enabled, otherwise N. SSL is enabled if QSslSocket.supportsSsl() returns true.
  • %Locale% is replaced with QLocale.name() . The locale is determined from the view of the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage . If no view is set on the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage , then a default constructed PySide.QtCore.QLocale is used instead.
  • %WebKitVersion% is the version of WebKit the application was compiled against.
  • %AppVersion% expands to QCoreApplication.applicationName() / QCoreApplication.applicationVersion() if they’re set; otherwise defaulting to Qt and the current Qt version.
PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.view()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QWidget

Returns the view widget that is associated with the web page.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.viewportSize()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.QSize

This property holds the size of the viewport.

The size affects for example the visibility of scrollbars if the document is larger than the viewport.

By default, for a newly-created Web page, this property contains a size with zero width and height.
