Depends on what you're outputting. In your context, you're creating content (and metadata) for a cell in an Excel workbook. If that's the case you might have to use something like the xlwt module to create an Excel-style worksheet and adjust the properties of the cell to include the hyperlink property. Or you can write out a .csv file with a hyperlink in a cell, which I believe Excel can interpret as a hyperlink. Or write an HTML document with the corresponding HTML <a> tag in it. Or you can just print it to stdout as normal as some terminals detect them and auto-linkify them. But you have to specify where you want this link to appear to know how to solve the problem. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
