[New-bugs-announce] [issue15499] Sleep is hardcoded in webbrowser.UnixBrowser

[Anton Barkovsky]

New submission from Anton Barkovsky:

webbrowser.UnixBrowser._invoke will sleep for at least 1 second after
launching browser process and then probably 4 more seconds. These numbers
are hardcoded and can't be modified which is especially problematic for
testing.

I think this code should be replaced with Popen.wait with timeout.
A patch is attached.
