web browsing short cut
Hey guys,
I am new to python. I want to make a shortcut that opens my websites
and re-sizes them to display on different areas on the screen. I looked
around but i had no luck. Is that possible with python? if so can someone
point to to the right direction? Here is what I came up with so far..
Thanks in advance,
--
import webbrowser
# The websites i want to open..
url1 = 'http://www.python.org/'
url2 = 'http://www.google.com/'
url3 = 'http://msn.com/'
# the path to ie
ie = webbrowser.get('c:\\program files\\internet explorer\\iexplore.exe')
ie.open(url1)
ie.open(url2)
ie.open(url3)

Re: web browsing short cut
Hey, I am looking into Tkinter. But i am not sure if it will actually work. This maybe a crazy idea but i was wondering if i can put a web browser in the frame. I have tried to use Tkinter to resize and place the windows to certain areas of the screen but that's not working or the way im approaching this problem is completely wrong. I want to make a program that will have websites displayed in specific areas of the screen. I was planning on using the program on the big screen. So is it possible to put the web browser inside the frame in Tkinter?
