@ChildishGiant QtWebKit is deprecated in Qt but is still developed by another community independently, for example I just tested it with PyQt5 5.11.2 and it works correctly, could I point you out where did you get that information ?, on the other hand I will soon add support for QtWebEngine 😄

Oh, I tried running the examples and my python complained that it doesn't exist. My reputable source is some random guy on stackoverflow.

@ChildishGiant As I said officially Qt no longer supports QtWebKit (deprecated for Qt), but other developers keep giving it maintenance, and in my case to have support I have manually compile QtWebKit and PyQt5, I do not use pip, so I still have the ability to execute that code. In a next version of my library I will try to migrate to QtWebEngine, the migration is not easy since several functions of QtWebKit are no longer incorporated in QtWebEngine. Also, for example, QtWebEngine is asynchronous. So you'll have to wait for the future version, or use an older version of PyQt5, probably PyQt 5.5, PyQt5 5.6 😸

Thanks for the explanation 😄
