Nick Coghlan added the comment: To summarise the changes that were made during the PR review, here's the eventual commit message for the merged PR:
============ bpo-24241: Improve preferred webbrowser handling (#85) - Add 'preferred' argument to webbrowser.register - Use xdg-settings to specify preferred X browser The first change replaces the existing undocumented tri-state 'try_order' parameter with the documented boolean keyword-only 'preferred' parameter. Setting it to True places the browser at the front of the list, preferring it as the return to a subsequent get() call. The second change adds a private `_os_preferred_browser` setting and then uses that to make the default browser reported by `xdg-settings` first in the try list when running under X (or another environment that sets the `DISPLAY` variable). This avoids the problem where the first entry in the tryorder queue otherwise defaults to xdg-open, which doesn't support the "new window" option. ============ ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24241> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
