Hey @congzhangzh - I think it's unlikely we would take on this work ourselves. There are currently some projects that wrap a WebView (like WebView2) using python, for example: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.html2.WebView.html#webview-backend-edge-msw

If you'd like I can add this as a scenario on our backlog, but it will be low priority and likely be a long time before we do this work. Let me know!

@champnic Sure, add to backlog, and I will watch and wait:), as webview2’s upstream chromium, python are all roll based release, provide a solided release maybe very challenging for community, Microsoft hand it please!

I just want to get an official release of webwindow, but for python:)

@congzhangzh Done - I've opened this scenario on our backlog.

If a python wrapper was built by a third party on our SDK and APIs, it should be stable - our APIs are forward compatible with new WebView2 Runtime releases. The only thing the wrapper would be missing out on if it didn't choose to update with new SDKs are when we release new APIs.
