>From looking at webbrowser.py it tests for links (and two other text-only browsers) first if it is running inside a terminal. After that it will pick up a graphical browser, and can be overriden as you have done. It looks like we can manually set _tryorder in the webbrowser module to whatever list of browsers is compatible with our app. I just don't see why there is no means of telling the module that you don't want a terminal-based browser if you are in a terminal. FWIW putting this somewhere before the call to webbrowser.open in turbogears' base.py would fix the behavior and let you rename links, but to make it function in a cross-platform manner we would basically have to reimplement webbrowser.py sans stupid assumptions. _tryorder=['mozilla-firefox','firefox'] -Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
