Send the AppleEvent to the browser yourself, using the OpenURL() 
appleevent. You can find this in both the Explorer and the Netscape 
suite, so either of
import Netscape
x = Netscape.Netscape(start=1)
x.OpenURL(url)
or the same with Explorer will work. And you can pass a 
signature="MOSS" argument to the Netscape.Netscape call to start a 
different webbrowser.
