Load webpage in Python GUI window

I've searched on Google and StackOverflow but am having trouble finding the answer, even though it seems like it should be easy to do.

How can I use Python to load a URL into its own window, rather than in a browser? I imagine this should be trivial in Tkinter or some other GUI package.

A new option would be: pywebview

pywebview is a lightweight cross-platform wrapper around a webview component that allows to display HTML content in its own native GUI window. It gives you power of web technologies in your desktop application, hiding the fact that GUI is browser based.

Yeah. that's very easy with QWebView in PyQt/PySide

You basically instantiate a new QWebView and pass the url to it

QWebView.load(QUrl('http://www.www.pythoncentral.io'))

you can read more here

and also in the pyQt docs
