I'm sorry, I should have said a GUI console because I wouldn't expect a
text-based console to produce clickable links. But it appears that a simple GUI
console can't do it either. I have 3 GUI consoles and in all 3, when I ask:
print("%s: %s" % ("python.org list",
"https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list";))
I get:
python.org list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
(Outlook made the url clickable here, the python GUI consoles just output plain
text.)
Pretty clearly the output is plain text because your format parameters are %s.
Maybe the trick, if there is one, is in a format parameter for urls.

Excel has a formula:

Does python have an equivalent function? Probably the most common use for it
would be output to the console, similar to a print statement, but clickable.
