A few responders have ask for this information. 

Platform can be linux or Windows.
Currently: Linux runs Python 2.7
 and Windows runs 2.6.3; 
Windows can be XP and above.
My program is built with Python and Tkinter
I convert the program using py2exe.

There are no special requirements. 
The client will design around my capabilities.

The html page will simply be a display of data. 

Right now I need some way to display 
15 to 20 lines of html in its own window or 
as part of my screen. 

I am trying to avoid using any commercial
browser. 

GTK has a webkit, and QT has a webkit and 
Suse, wich I use has libwebkitgtk-1_0-0.

All at some time I will have to look at all. 
I thought If someone had done this already 
The learning curve could be lowered.

Thanks for the interest,
jimonlinux
