# cefct

Python bindings (ctypes) for the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)

[Binaries for Linux64](https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/index.html#linux64),

[Binaries for Windows64](https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/index.html#windows64)

## DIY

Compiling cefpython3 is a complicated process, so instead of creating intermediate

code and sharing it with Python, I decided to use the standard Python library, ctypes.

cefcapiparse.py and cefcapiparseinternal.py prepare function calls exported directly from

libcef (dll or so). In order to check the correctness of the size of the generated structures,

a tiny (also generated) program cefsizes.c is required.

For proper operation, you need cef source, e.g.:

https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/cef_binary_120.1.10+g3ce3184+chromium-120.0.6099.129_linux64.tar.bz2

or its equivalent for MS-Windows.

Unpack the downloaded file in the cef directory, inside cef directory create directory "build" and

create a symbolic link "source" to the newly created directory,

finally run:

cef-2-cmake.sh

cef-3-cmake-ninja.sh

cef-4-cefcapi.sh

cef-4-linuxhelper.sh

This library is at the stage of testing and playing, but something can be started:

- appflask.py - flask/vue based http server

- appgtk0.py - minimal GTK 3.0 example

- appgtk1.py - minimal GTK 3.0 example used as loader for appgtk1a.py

- appgtk1a.py

- appwin.py - minimal WIN32 application

- appwx1-win32.py - minimal wxPython application on WIn32

- appwx2.py - minimal wxPython application on WIN32 or GTK3

- appwx3.py - minimal wxPython application on WIN32 or GTK3

- appwx4.py - most advanced cross platform application with flask and callbacks

- appwxflask.py - wxPython application with flask

Common application libraries:

- cefapp.py

- cefappcommon.py

Show used CEF version and assert compability with used CEF version

- cefapp-vercheck.py

If you want to check the operation of another version of CEF,

you will have to download its distribution and generate the required files.
