[issue35593] Register standard browser: Chrome

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

The "8232_1.patch" patch on #8232 implements a registry-based lookup (including 
for Chrome) that will be far more reliable than the current process's 
environment. So it's not a direct duplicate, but the proposed fix will resolve 
this issue as well.

[issue35593] Register standard browser: Chrome

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

The patch won't work on my machine - "chrome[.exe]" is not on my PATH:

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.which("chrome")
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.register("chrome", None, webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser("chrome"))
>>> webbrowser.get("chrome")

>>> webbrowser.get("chrome").open("https://stevedower.id.au/;)
False

Perhaps this also requires an update to shutil.which() on Windows to inspect 
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths?

As near as I can tell, this is *not* a duplicate of #8232.

New submission from Emmanuel Arias :

Hi!

This issue is open to discuss the PR: 
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/11327

This PR propose add "chrome" on webbrowser.register_standard_browsers for 
windows

IMO this is a reasonable new feature simply because Chrome is commonly used.
