[Pythonmac-SIG] Webbrowser module?

[Schollnick, Benjamin]

Sorry Jack...

It's been a long two days... >g<

It's Python 2.1.1 - MacPython....

On Mac OS 9.2.2, with 128M Ram.

Python 2.1.1 (#97, Aug  2 2001, 21:53:31)  [CW PPC GUSI2 THREADS] on mac
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
b>>> 
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.open ("http://www.yahoo.com")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "OS v9.1:Applications (Mac OS 9):Python 2.1.1:Lib:webbrowser.py",
line 43, in open
    get().open(url, new, autoraise)
  File "OS v9.1:Applications (Mac OS 9):Python 2.1.1:Lib:webbrowser.py",
line 38, in get
    raise Error("could not locate runnable browser")
webbrowser.Error: could not locate runnable browser
>>> 

The code that I'm attempting, is literally (from the Python Console):

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open ("www.yahoo.com")

I've also tried "http://www.yahoo.com"... in case it's parsing the http.

MacPython or MachoPython? Which version? Which OS? Could you send the
stacktrace?
