I agree that failing silently is bad, but I don't think that having those error messages help much. Instead, adding a more generic "Could not open [http://whatever/foo]"; error to open_uri() would at least give users a way to work around our brokenness by manually entering the URL. Also, two of the three cases here involve opening a browser, for which the standard python webbrowser module would be an acceptable fallback. Not sure whether this is worthwhile though.
