[issue42330] Add browsh in the webbrowser module

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka  added the comment:

I concur with Terry.

Actually, registering the browser is not necessary for using it. Set the 
environment variable BROWSER and use your favorite browser. The following 
example uses curl (which is not registered as in the webbrowser module) as a 
browser:

BROWSER=curl python3 -m webbrowser -n http://example.org

The registry in the webbrowser module is used for the case if you use Python on 
some non-mainstream platform which does not have OS-level infrastructure for 
running default browser or settings are empty. I.e. it is not Windows or macOS 
and does not support OpenDesktop and Posix specifications, and BROWSER is not 
set. If you have such marginal system and use marginal browser on it, it is 
worth to spend some time for setting BROWSER or configuring www-browser, 
x-www-browser, xdg-open, etc.

[issue42330] Add browsh in the webbrowser module

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

We do not add just any old or new browser to webrowser's predefined list.  (And 
there are likely some that should be dropped.)  The last addition was the 
Chrome group in 3.3.  Neither Microsoft Explorer or Edge are listed.  I believe 
the former was considered to be covered sufficient well by 'windows-default'.

On Windows and Mac, one can use any browser by making it the default.  It is 
also possible for any browser to make itself easily usable from Python by 
adding a module that registers the browser controller class on import.  You 
should suggest this to the browsh dev and see if *they* care.

Looking further, there are about 10 browsers with measured usage listed in 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser that are not on the webbrowser list.  
There are more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers, including 
 Browsh appears on neither list.  It does appear on 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_web_browser.  But it seems too obscure 
to deserve being added.  So I think this request should be rejected.

[issue42330] Add browsh in the webbrowser module

[Saiansh Singh]

New submission from Saiansh Singh :

The webbrowser module is a module used to create a new tab or window inside 
browsers. It is currently built into python. It supports multiple 
terminal-based browsers but yet doesn't support browsh. Here is the 
documentation for browsh for more information: brow.sh. The repository is at: 
github.com/browsh-org/browsh. It runs firefox on headless and displays the 
websites inside the terminal.

Happy to make a PR! 😃
