This is the Microsoft WebView2 runtime binaries, packaged with a light Python.NET wrapper, to enable easy use of WebView2 in Winforms applications.

For details on usage and distribution, see the Microsoft WebView2 documentation

Before use, the end-user must have the WebView2 Runtime installed. Details can be found here.

Usage

Once installed in an environment that also has Python.NET installed, importing the WebView2 package will load the WebView2 assemblies. The Microsoft.Web.WebView2 libraries can then be imported and used:

# Load the WebView2 assemblies
import WebView2

# Create a WebView2 instance
from Microsoft.Web.WebView2.WinForms import WebView2

webview2 = WebView2()
