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? -Brendan (student) --- webbrowser.py Mon Jan 12 11:43:26 2004 +++ /usr/lib/python2.2/webbrowser.py Sun Jul 14 23:33:32 2002 @@ -1,6 +1,4 @@ """Interfaces for launching and remotely controlling Web browsers.""" -#patched to work on os x native python - import os import sys @@ -299,15 +297,6 @@ # so don't mess with the default! _tryorder = ["internet-config"] register("internet-config", InternetConfig) - -# -# Platform support for OS X (builtin unix version) -# the os x 'open' command opens ANYTHING including url's. -# ISSUE: what if InternetConfig is present?
