I found that on older Mac OS X systems that one needs to give file://localhost/path instead of file:///path but the localhost version didn't always work on other platforms. The other thing you need to do is to use Python 2.5's version of webbrowser.py instead of the earlier ones. It's easy to backport and works *much* better.

webbrowser.open still gives problem with file://
hello, some days bac I posted a problem about webbrowser.open() not opening the file on the local machine. I get a few responses and I tryed working it out. I also refered to the cookbook example posted on that thread. I still can't figure out why webbrowser.open(file:///home/krishna/documents/tut.html) does not open the file. as I mentioned earlier the url in the addressbar of mozilla firefox 3 alpha is file:///home/krishna//home/krishna/documents/tut.html which is indeed wrong. I have only got a hint so far that I can use a module called BaseHTTPServer but I have not yet understood how it will help me to solve the problem. is it going to give the correct file:/// to the webbrowser.open()? if yes then how? can some one post a simple example? I don't need to create any class for this because some other code in python is actually creating an html file and I just need to display it in the browser. so please help on this one. with regards, Krishnakant. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
