Support for QtWebEngineWidgets in Windows PyQt5

[jacksonofalltrades]

Hi,
It seems that this may only be available in Qt5.6 or later, but I haven't completely determined that. This module seems to be completely missing when I try to build my Windows app using your python-qt5.
Any guidance on this?
Thanks!

Hm, looking at the docs, it looks like it's been there since 5.4.

• http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwebengineview.html

But it's possible it didn't get included in the build for this project. This is how the project has been built, maybe there's a flag that could've/should've been set in order to build this?

• https://github.com/pyqt/python-qt5/wiki/Updating-the-repository

I think it has a different license then the rest of Qt, not sure if it's related.

These are the possible build flags.

For reference, this is what I had to do to get this working in a Virtualenv:

1. pip install git+git://github.com/pyqt/python-qt5.git
2. mv /path/to/virtualenv/qt.conf /path/to/virtualenv/Scripts
3. Edit /path/to/virtualenv/Scripts/qt.conf to contain following:

[Paths]
Prefix = ../Lib/site-packages/PyQt5
Binaries = ../Lib/site-packages/PyQt5

4. Copy /path/to/virtualenv/Lib/site-packages/PyQt5QtWebEngineProcess.exe and /path/to/virtualenv/Lib/site-packages/PyQt5QtWebEngineProcessd.exe to /path/to/virtualenv/Scripts directory.
5. Download PyQt5 5.71 wheel for Python 3 from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5/5.7.1 and extract.
6. Copy resources and translations from the extracted wheel (\PyQt5\Qt) to /path/to/virtualenv/Lib/site-packages/PyQt5

Et voila. I was able to load a web page in QWebEnginePage

Note: Theoretically, adding LibraryExecutables = ../Lib/site-packages/PyQt5 to qt.conf should negate the need for copying the executables to Scripts, but it didn't work for me.
