CEF Python

Table of contents:

Introduction

CEF Python is an open source project founded by Czarek Tomczak in 2012 to provide Python bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). The Chromium project focuses mainly on Google Chrome application development while CEF focuses on facilitating embedded browser use cases in third-party applications. Lots of applications use CEF control, there are more than 100 million CEF instances installed around the world. There are numerous use cases for CEF:

  1. Use it as a modern HTML5 based rendering engine that can act as a replacement for classic desktop GUI frameworks. Think of it as Electron for Python.
  2. Embed a web browser widget in a classic Qt / GTK / wxPython desktop application
  3. Render web content off-screen in applications that use custom drawing frameworks
  4. Use it for automated testing of web applications with more advanced capabilities than Selenium web browser automation due to CEF low level programming APIs
  5. Use it for web scraping, as a web crawler or other kind of internet bots

CEF Python also provides examples of embedding CEF for many Python GUI frameworks such as PyQt, wxPython, PyGTK, PyGObject, Tkinter, Kivy, Panda3D, PyGame, PyOpenGL, PyWin32, PySide and PySDL2.

Seeking new sponsors

CEF Python is seeking companies to sponsor further development of the project. There are many proposals for new features submitted in the issue tracker. Most notable are:

  • Monthly releases with latest Chromium
  • An automated build system similar to upstream CEF Spotify Automated Builds
  • ARM and Android support
  • Multi-threaded support for increased performance
  • Proprietary codecs support in build tools: H264, H265,AC3, EAC3, MPEG-4
  • More CEF API exposed, only about 50% is exposed so far
  • Hundreds of new settings and Chromium preferences not yet exposed
  • Easier integration with popular GUI toolkits in just a few lines of code and support for more third party GUI frameworks
  • More examples of implementing various advanced features and more snippets as well

If your company would like to sponsor CEF Python development efforts then please contact Czarek. Long term sponsorships are welcome and Czarek is open to ideas about the project. He would love to spend more time on developing this project, but he can't afford doing so in his free time. Currently there is no company supporting this project actively on a daily basis.
