Support for multiple windows?

This feature will probably change the API significantly, but I wanted to at least document the need.

Essentially my idea would be that the webview.create_window() function returns a window handle or maybe even a BrowserView object that can be manipulated directly. That way you could instantiate multiple windows and destroy them individually.

Perhaps the app can quit when the last window is destroyed, or maybe there could be a ‘master’ window instance that can control all the other ones.

I’m kind of spit-balling but hopefully you get the idea. Could pywebview support multiple windows? Can you think of some other way to do it that doesn’t involve a major API change?

The multi-window JS bridge fails on all the platforms. There maybe something wrong with the test. I fixed debugging on Cocoa. The setting is global for all the opened windows. There is probably no need to make it specific to individual windows.

Sounds reasonable. Let’s start with your approach and see where it leads from there. One thing that needs to take into account the windowspec string of windows.open function. That way we can set up the properties of a new window from Javascript.

I have cloned your branch into https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview/tree/multiple-windows-support. Please feel free to contribute pull requests to it.
