Guido van Rossum	2595a837b5	Typo for Mac code, fixing SF bug 12195.	2000-11-13 20:30:57 +00:00
Fred Drake	3944a01713	Do not set Konquerer to be the default browser if $KDEDIR is set -- some ... Linux distributions which provide both KDE and Gnome set this environment variable even if the user is not using KDE. We do *not* want to start Konquerer if KDE is not running unless the user actually tells us to!	2000-10-02 03:40:51 +00:00
Tim Peters	f58a7aafea	Implemented new os.startfile function, unique to Windows, exposing a ... subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality. Guido wants this because IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's _popen. Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the docstring -- it tells the whole story). Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows. Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs (hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I understand it). Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now! That's where ShellExecute lives.	2000-09-22 10:05:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	1d62f492b0	Hack the Windows code to use os.popen(). ... The returned file is assigned to an instance variable; otherwise the implied close hangs for a long time.	2000-09-03 17:12:50 +00:00
Fred Drake	c70b4483d2	New module to control Web browsers; see the documentation for ... more information.	2000-07-09 16:45:56 +00:00
