Falkon Python Tutorial - 1. Introduction
Hello, in this series I would like to introduce and describe how to write extensions for Falkon web browser with python.
Starting with Falkon 3.2 there is support for installing extensions from store which can be found at store.falkon.org
Falkon supports extensions written in C++, Python and Qml.
This series will go over the Python implementation.
Requirements
- Knowledge of C++
Sadly, Falkon lacks documentation at this point in time, so only way to get some information is to browse through the source code.
In this series there will be provided links to Falkon mirror on GitHub to compensate for documentation. - The Falkon source code
- The source code for stable release of Falkon can be found at download.kde.org/stable/falkon/
- The latest source code can be found at the Phabricator
- Knowledge of Python3, PySide2 and Qt
It is good to have Qt documentation and Qt development tools like Qt Designer at hand.
Falkon module
To access Falkon specific features and functions inside the python script you need to use Falkon module.
import Falkon
The following part can be considered as cheat sheet. This section will be enhanced over the time.
Getting Main Application instance
In C++ known as mApp macro.
In python we have to go the long way.
Falkon.MainApplication.instance()
Getting static settings data
In C++ known as qzSettings macro
In python we have to go the long way.
Falkon.Settings.staticSettings()
