Fred Drake f4e5bd9df5 _synthesize(): Helper function: when the users passes a specific
value for the 'using' parameter of the get() function
                or the BROWSER environment variable, if the thing
                passed in is a path (as seems to be the case with KDE)
                instead of a short name, examine the available
                controllers to see if we can synthesize one based on a
                pre-registered controller that shares the same base
                name.

get():  If the user specifies a browser we don't know about, use
        _synthesize() to attempt to create a usable controller.

Some small adjustments were needed in some of the browser classes to
support this.

Eric S. Raymond f7eb4faf38 Fixes a fatal bug when the module has computed alternatives containing %s. 2001-03-31 01:50:52 +00:00
Fred Drake fc31f2692f Update auto-detection for Konqueror to include KDE 2 -- the kfm command is
gone; "konqueror" is the new name, and the command-line args are different.
kfmclient has not changed, though.

Ka-Ping Yee 0a8c29be4b Clarify synopsis line a bit.
Remove -no-about-splash option (not understood by all Netscapes).

Skip Montanaro 40fc16059f final round of __all__ lists (I hope) - skipped urllib2 because Moshe may be
giving it a slight facelift

Jeremy Hylton 8016a4b0af Remove two meaningless, module-level global statements (one of a
non-existent variable :-).

Reflow long lines.

Eric S. Raymond cfa4096618 Fixed autoraise glitches. 2001-01-23 15:49:34 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond f79cb2db3e Expose the autoraise capability. Improve the documentation. 2001-01-23 13:49:44 +00:00
Eric S. Raymond f7f185116a Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee's
complaints.  The new version moves most of its initialization to
package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for
Mozilla and Links.  Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works
and is documented.  The open_new entry point and methods are marked
"deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".

Guido van Rossum 2d3eb133b7 SF Patch #103211.
Ping apparently doesn't check in Accepted patches, so I'm doing this
for him.

According to Ping: The name of the controller class should be
"Konqueror", not "Konquerer". (See the website
http://www.konqueror.org/.)

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!

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.

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.
