the ReleaseNotes wiki page.

Stability note
For best stability please use 32bit binaries. 64bit binaries do work fine, but are not yet considered stable in upstream CEF/Chromium.

Install from PyPI

To install the PyPI/cefpython3 package using the pip package manager (see how to install pip), type:

pip install cefpython3

If there are problems installing the cefpython3 package, then it might be caused by an old version of pip which may not support Python Wheels. To upgrade pip type: "pip install --upgrade pip".

Downloads

Python 2.7 32-bit and 64-bit downloads are available. Python 3.4 is not yet supported, see Issue 121.

Download from Google Drive.

Download from Dropbox.

Examples

To run some examples go to the examples/ directory that is inside the cefpython3 package. Type "pip show cefpython3" to see where the cefpython3 package was installed. It is recommended to run the wxpython.py example which presents the most features.

  • wxpython.py - example of embedding using the wxPython GUI toolkit. Includes many tests of advanced features.
  • pywin32.py - example of embeddig using the pywin32 extension.
  • pygtk_.py - example of embedding using the PyGTK GUI toolkit
  • pyqt.py - example of embedding using the PyQt UI framework
  • pyside.py - example of embedding using the PySide UI framework
  • The Inno setup and Distutils distributions come with the cefpython3.wx module with more wxPython examples. See sample1.py, sample2.py, sample3.py.

Notes

  • 64bit binaries do not have applied the patch that fixes HTTPS caching on sites with SSL certificate errors (Issue 125).
