Hi Titus, 

Twill is wonderful!  Thanks so much for such a useful tool.  A couple of notes:


1.  I had a few snags when installing twill with ez_setup.py.  I've documented how I did it here: 


The biggest problem was not knowing where easy_install installed twill.  

2.  In a similar vein, I would like to install twill's unit tests.  According to the instructions here; 


"...To run them, type 'python setup.py test' in the top package directory."

Assuming I've installed twill with easy_install, what constitutes the top of the package directory?   Or do those instructions only apply if you've installed via the tarball? 

3.  Feature request:  I'm trying to test an existing web site with a complicated design.  It is frequently difficult to tell via visual inspection of the html which page twill has actually retrieved.  Therefore, I would find it handy if there were an 'open' command that opened the downloaded html in a specified external browser.  

i.e. open <page> <browser>

Where <page> is a url/file and browser is a path to a browser.   If no <page> is specified it opens the last retrieved page.  If no <browser> is specified, it opens with the last specified browser.  If no <page> has been downloaded yet, or no <browser> has been previously specified, then it returns an error.
