Hi,
os.startfile('h ttp://www.python.org' ) works fine on WinXP with IE as
default webbrowser. With Mozilla Firefox 0.9 as default webbrowser,
however, I get an error. Firefox starts, the page gets loaded and then
Python gives me an error message (Traceback below). The same is true
for the webbowser module. Is this a Python problem or a Firefox
problem?

I hate to say but it worked for me using Opera as my default browser
on Windows 2000 but fails with Firefox so I guess it's a Firefox thing...
FYI webbrowser just calls os.startfile on windows hence the same error

I have the same issue with FF 0.9.1 (can't really say if I had the same
problem with prior versions - maybe I didn't notice) as default browser on
XP Prof. Not only when starting a url from Python, but also from other
programs, yes: even when double clicking a *.url. FF loads the page just
fine, but the "invoking program" always returns an error message.

Hi,
During optimizing SPE for Ubuntu, I found something strange. I have
Ubuntu 5.10 "The Breezy Badger" and unfortunately this code is not
working:
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.open("http://www.python.org")
It does not throw an exception, but is not able to launch a browser.

I'm just learning Python, so bear with.
I was messing around with the webbrowser module and decided it was
pretty cool to have the browser open a URL from within a python script,
so I wrote a short script to open a local file the same way, using the
script file as an example target:
# browser-test.py
import webbrowser

At http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/modules.html on the webbrowser
module, it says "A number of additional browsers were added to the
supported list such as Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, and elinks."
I just installed python 2.5, looking forward to being able to control
firefox without having to make it my default browser, but...
I don't seem to have that functionality. In IDLE:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
