Sorry, Rhodri. I don't agree with your logic. You can use tkinter (code in a program) to make clickable links in the console, and the webbrowser module to web-enable them so urls open in a browser when you click on them. I have no idea how this crowd got off on the mantra "The choice is with the console". Code does in fact have the power to control what happens in the console. How do you think Linux does it on their terminals with clickable links? Granted, the code may have to specify parameters for a particular console, but I certainly wasn't asking for universal code that would work with any console. That was something made up by the responders on the thread, so they could revile me for such an outrageously impossible demand. My original question was if Python had anything equivalent to the hyperlink formula in Excel, which is a program (code) feature. Nothing about doing it on any console in the universe. The developers who wrote PyCharm coded it for the console they were using. The console is a dead thing, it has no mind or soul to choose anything. Surely an educated person would know that. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
