Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: webbrowser appears to be designed to return True/False if it does/or not open a browser window (regardless of site response). (I opened #10799 for a doc addition.) I believe an exception would likely indicate a bug therein. So I only wrapped the Windows startfile call (and only catch WindowsError), which could fail with any bad entry, and not just one left over from a previous install.
This patch should make the behavior on Windows much like on other systems: display message and move on. I have (yet) not tested this (but may try to), but take Scott's and Amaury's claims that the message call is correct. I will commit in a week if there are no objections. ---------- assignee: -> terry.reedy keywords: +patch stage: -> commit review type: -> behavior versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20199/z6285.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6285> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
