Web interface inside calibre

alexxx · 09-01-2010, 05:32 AM

Following my previous suggestion about the possibility to display in a Calibre panel the Wikipedia entry for a given author
(not much success: never ask for comments during summer holydays! https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95136),
I wanted to ask the more general question: is Calibre able to integrate easily with a web page (essentially acting as a browser)? Or these are features missing in the python framework?
Just asking - since I still think my suggestion is valid so I could try to code it, if it is possible at all...

thanks!

calibre contains the embedded webkit engine, so you can actually implement a browser on top of it.
