Yeah, there's no simple answer; however, you'll find that Python on many
platforms is entirely capable of popping a URL up in the user's default
browser. Check this out:
>>> import antigravity
This uses the 'webbrowser' module, which knows about a number of different ways
to open a browser, and will attempt them all. So if you can figure out the UI
part of things, actually making the link pop up in a browser isn't too hard;
for instance, if you're doing OAuth at the command line and need the user to go
and authenticate, you can simply webbrowser.open("http://......./";) and it'll
DTRT.
