[documancer] documancer without wxmozilla

[Arnd B. <arn...@we...>]

Hi,

I am using documancer very happily for more than a year now.
Yesterday I made an update to the CVS version.
Unfortunately, the new version uses xml.dom.ext
which is not available.
(I have a separate installation of python,
wxPython, mozilla and wxmozilla just for using documancer.
In total this boils down to 200 MB.
I seems that  _xmlplus is missing from my installation...)

Do you know of an easy way of getting wxmozilla
(the best fore me would be a debian package ;-)?

In general I think that the need to install wxmozilla
raises the barrier for using documancer.

Of course, one can use the wxHtml backend,
but this has several drawbacks
  a) highlighting of search results does not work
  b) automatic jump to the first hit does not work
     (+ an annoying warning box
       "HTML anchor search_result_0 does not exist")
  c) incremental searching within the document is not possible
  d) + many other niceties of wxmozilla are missing.

To me a)-b) are presumably the most important ones.
Could one implement some routines around wxHtml which
would serve these purposes
(until wxmozilla becomes more widespread)?

In that context: how is progress on the side of wxmozilla
- is there a chance that it makes it
into the next stable wxPython?

Many thanks,

Arnd


P.S.:
There is some strange info on the wiki
