That would require a CGI script that tries both and sees which one
doesn't return an error.  I think it's overkill.

Here are two scripts I recently started using:

sfpatch --------------------------------------------------------------

#! /usr/bin/env python

import os, sys, webbrowser

def main():
    args = sys.argv[1:]
    if len(args) != 1:
        print "usage: %s patchno" % sys.argv[0]
        sys.exit(2)
    url = "http://python.net/crew/mwh/py/bug/" + args[0]
    webbrowser.open(url)

main()

sfbug ----------------------------------------------------------------

#! /usr/bin/env python

import os, sys, webbrowser

def main():
    args = sys.argv[1:]
    if len(args) != 1:
        print "usage: %s patchno" % sys.argv[0]
        sys.exit(2)
    url = "http://python.net/crew/mwh/py/patch/" + args[0]
    webbrowser.open(url)

main()

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it worth to check these into Tools/demos/scripts/?
