WebAppify
WebAppify is a simple module to easily create your own desktop apps of websites. WebAppify uses PyQt5 and QtWebEngine for displaying the web page, and works on Python 3.8 and up.
To create your own desktop web app, import and set up the WebApp class.
from webappify import WebApp
app = WebApp('OpenStreetMap', 'https://www.openstreetmap.org', 'osm.png')
app.run()This will create a window with the website, using the icon provided.
Note
If your site needs Flash Player, you'll need the appropriate Flash Player plugin installed system-wide. For QtWebKit you will need the NPAPI plugin, and for QtWebEngine you will need the PPAPI plugin.
Additional Options
can_minimize_to_tray
Important
This option was changed in version 0.4.0 from
canMinimizeToTray to can_minimize_to_tray. The
old option is still available, but is deprecated. It will be removed in
0.5.0.
To install a system tray icon, and minimize your application to the
system tray, simply pass can_minimize_to_tray=True to the
class and a tray icon will be installed with the necessary menu
options.
app = WebApp('OpenStreetMap', 'https://www.openstreetmap.org', 'osm.png', can_minimize_to_tray=True)Clicking on the tray icon will show the window, while right-clicking will show the menu.
