This is the [Microsoft WebView2 runtime](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.WebView2) binaries, packaged with a light [Python.NET](http://pythonnet.github.io) wrapper, to enable easy use of WebView2 in Winforms applications.

For details on usage and distribution, see [the Microsoft WebView2 documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/)

Before use, the end-user must have the WebView2 Runtime installed. [Details can be found here](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/#download-section).

## Usage

Once installed in an environment that also has Python.NET installed, importing the WebView2 package will load the WebView2 assemblies. The `Microsoft.Web.WebView2` libraries can then be imported and used:

    # Load the WebView2 assemblies
    import WebView2

    # Create a WebView2 instance
    from Microsoft.Web.WebView2.WinForms import WebView2

    webview2 = WebView2()

## Updating the binaries

To update the WebView2 binaries, run:

    $ python -m venv venv
    $ source venv/bin/activate
    (venv) $ pip install -U pip
    (venv) $ pip install --group dev
    (venv) $ python tools/update.py

Or, to update to a specific version, use:

    (venv) $ python tools/update.py 1.0.3967.48
