These css framework can bring responsive design to application.

Define the specific version in setup.py or requirment.pip is preference
So, the way to import lib

from appkit import App

In application's setup.py

from appkit.tool import setup
setup();

To Do.

1. Be able to use pip install --user to Install app in ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
2. Collect information from '/' page to create .desktop file
   • Application name from <title>
   • Application icon from <link rel="icon">

- Epiphany application mode

QTWebkit will make Appkit based applications wide open to other desktop, such as KDE, Mac and Windows.

Anyway, since QT isn't preinstalled on Mac and Windows. It's still hard for user to reach Appkit's based application

I get the following error when trying the example :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 3, in
from appkit.api.v0_2_6 import App
File "/home/areski/.virtualenvs/appkit/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/appkit/api/v0_2_6.py", line 1, in
from appkit.app import App
File "/home/areski/.virtualenvs/appkit/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/appkit/app.py", line 3, in
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, WebKit
ImportError: No module named gi.repository

I imagine that we should add PyGI as a dependency ?
https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGI

Appkit should have package builder & installer to deliver applications to users ?

Docstring let developers understand code faster, It's bad that appkit has very little docstring right now.

app.route('/path/to/function/')

• It should match /path/to/function/ , not /p/path/to/function/
• It means, no need to add '^' as first string (regex syntax)

Provide option in framework & application to run in 2 modes

1. Application Mode, will open both service & UI window via WebKitGTK
2. Service Mode, will open only service in background which can access through network via web-browser, No UI windows.
   • Good for muliple users application which is deployed on servers

Hi Nitipit Nontasuwan,

Description of the issue:
NSSavePanel dialog is not working in Mac OS Catalina version.

Details:
I am using python 3.7.4 (64-bit) for building our web application in Mac OS.

Observation:
Before Catalina:

from AppKit import NSSavePanel
>>> NSSavePanel.savePanel()
<NSSavePanel: 0x7feb46a539e0>

In Catalina:

NSSavePanel.savePanel()
2020-01-29 10:53:05.691 Python[13337:56053] *** Assertion failure in +[NSServiceViewController currentAppIsViewService], /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/ViewBridge/ViewBridge-462/NSViewService.m:140

Expected behavior:
It shows save file dialog to user.

Actual behavior:
It is not showing save file dialog to user.

Issue that should be taken care
#12

for example

from appkit.v0_2_4 import app

This can be a good practice and a cleaner way for developers to develope application with Appkit

i keep trying to install appkit but i keep running into the same problem. Yes i already have installed Quartz. When i try pip3 install AppKit or pip install AppKit i keep getting the following

The core xml reader from python is too strict.. , beautifulsoup4 is more flexible for parsing html

having a web inspector will be good for debuging.

add XML configuration file for applications in the application root folder

config.xml

<appname>Myapp</appname>
<access>local</access> OR network restrict access in external browser
<window>
    <fullscreen>true</fullscreen>
     <toplevel>true</toplevel>
    <height>800<height>
    <width>600<width>   
    <Position>center</Position>
    <Icon>/path/to/myicon</icon>
</window>

thinking about using your application to build some cool stuff but is missing some features for easy devlopment maybe some options need to be added but am not very familiar with gtk webkit yet.
