[Tutor] Invoking the internet explorer intkinter?

[Sharriff Aina]

My tkinter application works now, thanks to help from this list and others, to finish things off I would like to have a link in the menu to documentation in form of HTML files. I can invoke any program using:

##

def foo():
....os.system( 'start foo.exe')
##

but trying this:

def foo2():
....os.sys('start index.html') #crude example

causes my tkinter application to hang, when I close the "dead" application via the taskmanager, voila! the html page pops up. Can some one tell me how to invoke local HTML pages on a local disk without being python platform specific? I would like to code a version of this application also for Linux.


Thanks in advance
