Just for search-ability and completeness:

   - It can be fixed by setting `browser=webbrowser.get("Safari")` in 
   .jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py [or "firefox", but not, at present 
   "chrome" -- which is an unrelated issue that is due to be fixed in the next 
   Python releases].
   - It is a manifestation of an issue in the python standard library 
   module `webbrowser.py` -- reported at http://bugs.python.org/issue30392
   - But it is *really* a bug in macOS introduced with the Sierra 10.12.5 
   update: the `osascript` command doesn't work with `open location <url>` 
   which is meant to open the default browser at that <url>. 
   - Strangely, you can still `tell application "safari" to open location 
      <url>" in osascript.
      - Even more strangely, the applescript *does* work in the AppleScript 
      editor, just not in `osascript`. I have filed a radar at 
      https://bugreport.apple.com but others should feel free/encouraged to 
      follow suit.

it might need fixing in Python. There's some discussion about it here:
