Jon Wilson added the comment: I'm running 2.6.23.9 linux kernel fedora 8.
I've gone ahead and downloaded the subversion checkout of the webbrowser.py file to see the differences. The svn version fixes the issue, so then I went a hunting as to why. In the 2.5 version, with a version of firefox running out of my home directory (but still in my path) webbrowser calles BackgroundBrowser instead of UnixBrowser. BackgroundBrowser calls subprocess.Popen(cmdline), where cmdline is a tuble in form ['/browser/path', '"http://example.com";'], and subprocess doesn't use/like the double quotes (probably legacy os.popen format) The difference in the two webbrowser scripts that fixes it is thus: 446a445,455 > # The default Gnome browser > if _iscommand("gconftool-2"): > # get the web browser string from gconftool > gc = 'gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command 2>/dev/n ull' > out = os.popen(gc) > commd = out.read().strip() > retncode = out.close() > > # if successful, register it > if retncode is None and commd: > register("gnome", None, BackgroundBrowser(commd.split())) 448,456c457 < # The default GNOME browser < if "GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" in os.environ and _iscommand("gnome-open"): < register("gnome-open", None, BackgroundBrowser("gnome-open")) < < # The default KDE browser < if "KDE_FULL_SESSION" in os.environ and _iscommand("kfmclient"): < register("kfmclient", Konqueror, Konqueror("kfmclient")) < < # The Mozilla/Netscape browsers so it appears to be a problem with gconf that python has to work around. see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.5/+bug/83974 So as long as it is in trunk 2.5.2 should fix it! (the patch is not in 2.5.1). thanks. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1911> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
