Hi wonderful python folks,
I was trying to use the webbrowser module with OS X's preinstalled python; I'm not very familiar with OS X, but I just patched webbrowser.py to use the very generic "open" command, which works for the simple webbrowser.open(url).
I've heard that Fink or another port would be more complete; on the other hand, I'm using computers where I can't install software myself, so this is useful for me.
Any thoughts or issues?
As a brand-new user of Mac OS X, "open" appears to be the right solution to me, picking up whatever settings one may have made for a different browser than Safari, not requiring fink, etc, etc. However, we should probably double-check on pythonmac-sig, where the REAL Mac Pythonistas hang out... Alex
