How do I invoke IE browser from Python on Mac OS X?

[Paul Jackson]

Given Piet's experience on another subtread of this this query,
and given the "logic" of this open command, I'd wager an ugly
penny that:
  1) Piet was running an older OS X, and
  2) The ability of 'open' to bring up the browser on URLs
     was added somewhat later on, after the original 'open'
     was coded.
