It occurs to me that webbrowser could be more intelligent on Linux/Unix systems. Both Gnome and KDE have default web browsers, so one could use their settings to choose the appropriate browser.
I haven't been able to find a freedesktop common standard for web browser, however. Firefox now sets itself as a "default browser" on startup, so python could also look for a similar setting. webbrowser could identify whether it was running under KDE/Gnome (maybe scan the processes?), identify the correct desktop's browser (or just use Gnome, maybe), and start that web browser.
