Embedding web browser or a screen for parsing HTML is easy in PyGTK. You only need to import the pymozembed, and add a few lines of code in your pygtk library, and you are set to go.
Here’s a sample PyGTK application that embeds a web-browser as well as a “Back” button for demonstration purpose :

def delete_event(self,widget,data=None):
print(“Exit”)
return False

gtk.main_quit()
def button_clicked(self,widget,data):

def __init__(self):
#init mozembed
self.moz = gtkmozembed.MozEmbed()
#create a Vertical Box Container to whole the browser
#and the “Back Button”
box = gtk.VBox(False,0)
#create a basic GTK+ window
win = gtk.Window()
win.add(box)
#create and connect “Back” button, to add functionality
self.button = gtk.Button(“Back”)
self.button.connect(“clicked”,self.button_clicked,self.moz)
#include both back button and the browser in the vertical box
#and the GTK+ window
box.pack_start(self.button,False,False,0)
box.pack_start(self.moz,True,True,0)
#load the URL
self.moz.load_url(‘http://blog.mypapit.net/’)
#set the window title
title=self.moz.get_title()
win.set_title(“browser demo”)
#show all the stuffs on screen
win.show_all()
#connect the delete_event and destroy event to make sure
#the app quits when the window is closed
win.connect(“delete_event”,self.delete_event)
win.connect(“destroy”,self.destroy)

PyMoz()
gtk.main()
