1. This method was suggested by Cameron Laird:

      os.system("start %s" % URL)

It works. But, if the URL contains character &, it will fail. For

  os.system('start "title" "%s"' % URL)



  start "" "%s"

a pain, but that's CMD.EXE for you. :)

As an aside, the START command is a bit picky regarding quotes. You have to use this horrible contortion The "title" is optional content-wise, but required positionally if there's a quoted resource, so you can just use

ah, and just for the records, at least
os.popen2,os.popen3 support tuple as argument:

i,o=os.popen2((cmd,arg1,arg2)) and quotes them
correctly.
