            Bug ID: 140745
           Summary: [GTK] Support direct Python web extension loading
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aperez at igalia.com

Using WebKitGTK+ from Python is supported thanks to the GObject-Introspection
support, but some parts of the API (mainly, the DOM bindings) have to be used
from the WebProcess when using WebKit2 in a Web Extension. Right now we only
support direct loading of Web Extensions implemented in C: even when it is
possible to run Python scripts using the libpython C API from a Web Extension,
each application would need to provide a Web Extension for doing so, leading to
duplicate boilerplate code.

Provided that using WebKitGTK+ embedded in GTK+ applications written in Python
is quite popular, it would be good to provide a loader for Python Web
Extensions.
