open default web browser using python

[Gregor Leban]

Hi,

Our team is working on a data mining software written in python that will
run on windows, linux and mac platforms. When clicking on one of the menu
items, we would like to open the default web browser for that platform with
a specific html page. Is there any python function that can do that?

Thanks,

Gregor

Look at the webbrowser module:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("http://www.google.com/")

Cheers,
