CEF Python is seeking companies to sponsor further development of the project.

There are many proposals for new features submitted in the issue tracker. Most

notable are:

* Monthly releases with latest Chromium

* An automated build system similar to upstream CEF Spotify Automated Builds

* ARM and Android support

* Multi-threaded support for increased performance

* Proprietary codecs support in build tools: H264, H265,AC3, EAC3, MPEG-4

* More CEF API exposed, only about 50% is exposed so far

* Hundreds of new settings and Chromium preferences not yet exposed

* Easier integration with popular GUI toolkits in just a few lines of code

and support for more third party GUI frameworks

* More examples of implementing various advanced features and more snippets

as well

If your company would like to sponsor CEF Python development efforts then

please contact

[Czarek](https://drive.google.com/file/d/17xmoT5Z_zTHkVclqPzrs2aAV64Uiu7fh/view).

Long term sponsorships are welcome and Czarek is open to ideas about

the project. He would love to spend more time on developing this project,

but he can't afford doing so in his free time. Currently there is no company

supporting this project actively on a daily basis.
