cross-platform

The http://code.google.com/p/pywebkitgtk/ looks great but it seems to be running on linux only.

Does anybody know if there is something similar but cross-platform?

If not what can be the alternatives to make with Python a simple web-browser that can run on Windows, MAC os and linux?

Thanks in advance
