Hi
New here and to python.
The subject is my current problem with blender <Help Menu> and this site
is the only one I have found that has made any mention of it. ( The only
one listed in a search using www.vivisimo.com ).
Your thread:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2003-September/025151.html applies.
It seems by this thread that there is a fix but as a newbie I have no
idea where to look to install the syntax. [ eg. Quote.............

Tracking it down, it appears that the "BROWSER" key of the os.environ
dictionary is used. Under Gnome, this is defined as '/usr/bin/galeon'.
Under KDE, it's 'kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing'. I have no idea what
that's supposed to mean - whatever it does, it doesn't start the
browser. However, if we change this to "konqueror" before importing the
webbrowser module, it works:
===
import os
if os.environ["BROWSER"] == 'kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing':
os.environ["BROWSER"] = "konqueror"
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("http://google.com") ] <http://google.com%22>
Anyone care to entertain an old tinkerer and help me get this prob dealt to?
