Python bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). CEF Python is an open source project founded by Czarek Tomczak in 2012 to provide Python bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). The Chromium project focuses mainly on Google Chrome application development while CEF focuses on facilitating embedded browser use cases in third-party applications. Lots of applications use CEF control, there are more than 100 million CEF instances installed around the world. There are numerous use cases for CEF. Use it as a modern HTML5 based rendering engine that can act as a replacement for classic desktop GUI frameworks. Think of it as Electron for Python. Embed a web browser widget in a classic Qt / GTK / wxPython desktop application. Use it for automated testing of web applications with more advanced capabilities than Selenium web browser automation due to CEF low level programming APIs.

Features

  • Use it for web scraping
  • Use it as a web crawler or other kind of internet bots
  • CEF Python also provides examples of embedding CEF for many Python GUI frameworks
  • PyQt, wxPython, PyGTK, PyGObject, Tkinter, Kivy, Panda3D, PyGame, PyOpenGL, PyWin32, PySide and PySDL2
  • Use it as a modern HTML5 based rendering engine
  • Embed a web browser widget in a classic Qt / GTK / wxPython desktop application
