⚡ Features

• Android support. pywebview can now be used on Android devices with help of buildozer in producing APK. #377
• DOM manipulation, traversal and events. pywebview provides a set of functions for mutating DOM nodes and traversing DOM, as well as you can subscribe to DOM events directly in Python. #1218
• Application settings webview.settings. You can now override default behaviour of pywebview by modifying this dictionary. Currently configurable settings include.

webview.settings = {
    'ALLOW_DOWNLOADS': False, # Allow file downloads
    'ALLOW_FILE_URLS': True, # Allow access to file:// urls
    'OPEN_EXTERNAL_LINKS_IN_BROWSER': True, # Open target=_blank links in an external browser
    'OPEN_DEVTOOLS_IN_DEBUG': True, # Automatically open devtools when `start(debug=True)`.
}

• Support for file downloads. To enable file downloads, set webview.settings['ALLOW_DOWNLOADS'] = True. Disabled by default.
• Full path support for file drag n drop. To get a full path of the dragged file, pywebview introduces event['domTransfer']['files'][0]['pywebviewFullPath'] value in the drop event caught on the Python side. To subscribe to the event you use window.dom.document.events.drop += on_drop.
• window.maximize() - maximize window.
