Hi Martin.

Even I don't plan to use a QWebView, I have done the MoosAche tutorial. I have found it very interesting and instructive as indeed all the tutorials of LearnPyqt. Great idea.

I'm running in Linux, Manjaro, Desktop environment Cinnamon with the last Python and Qt version i.e 3.82 and 5.14.2

However, I run into an issue when I run it in Pycharm, in a console or even in QtCreator. This behavior comes when I want to save a page with the corresponding function (save page). Here the corresponding code :

python
    def save_file(self):
    filename, _ = QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, "Save Page as", "", "Hypertext Markup Languague (*.htm *.html);;" "Allfiles (*.*)")

    if filename:
        html = self.browser.page().toHtml()
        with open(filename, 'w') as file:
            file.write(html)

I get this error :
