New submission from Jonathan Chao <[email protected]>:
webbrowser.open(), webbrowser.open_new(), and webbrowser.open_new_tab() all do
the exact same thing, regardless of the flags that I set. In Firefox,
open('www.google.com', new=0), open_new('www.google.com'), and
open_new_tab('www.google.com') all open either three new www.google.com tabs
(if "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is selected in FF options) or three
new www.google.com windows (if "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is not
selected in FF options). In Internet Explorer, three new www.google.com tabs
are created.
The issue exhibits itself the same way whether or not I have the browser open
before running the script.
Environment was a Windows Vista 32-bit machine, running Python 3.1.2.
Example script reads:
import webbrowser
import time
ff = webbrowser.get('firefox')
ff.open('www.google.com', new=0)
time.sleep(3)
ff.open_new('www.google.com')
time.sleep(3)
ff.open_new_tab('www.google.com')
