<div dir="ltr">Hmm, I've been through that tutorial several times, and I thought I was getting the hang of stuff, but that tutorial doesn't seem to mention anywhere anything about how to set parents or children. However, it seems it might be easier than I thought it was - I hadn't realised that I could do something like:<div>
<br></div><div><div>class webwidget(QtGui.QWidget):</div><div><br></div><div> def __init__(self):</div><div> super(webwidget, self).__init__()</div><div><br></div><div> self.b = Browser()</div><div> self.b.load(QUrl('<a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a>'))<br>
</div><div><br></div><div> self.grid = QtGui.QGridLayout()</div><div> self.grid.addWidget(self.b,0,1)<br></div><div><br></div><div> self.setLayout(self.grid)</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>class Browser(QWebView):</div>
<div><br></div><div> def __init__(self):</div><div> QWebView.__init__(self)</div><div> self.loadFinished.connect(self._result_available)<br></div><div><br></div><div> def _result_available(self, ok):</div>
<div> frame = self.page().mainFrame()</div><div><br></div><div>and that Google now does appear in my gui! :) (n.b. is there a better way to do it - should I call load() somewhere else?) but, how does the comment about children / parents relate to this?</div>

The answer almost seems too simple... but you're aware of the<br>
parent-argument of QObjects (and thus also QWidgets)?<br>
<br>
Basically, if you don't give a parent (wv = QWebView()), it's a<br>
standalone/toplevel widget, and if you do (wv = QWebView(mainwindow)),<br>
it's inside that widget.<br>
<br>
You might really want to take a look at a basic PyQt tutorial though,<br>
if that really was the problem. I can recommend [1] - even when you<br>
want to use PyQt5, the examples are trivial to port (just import some<br>
things from QtWidgets instead of QtGui usually)<br>
