https://docs.python.org/2/library/webbrowser.html says "If the environment variable BROWSER exists, it is interpreted to override the platform default list of browsers, as a os.pathsep-separated list of browsers to try in order." This is not actually what happens; instead, it is prepended to the platform-default list of browsers. |

Which may be sane thing thing do. So the docs could be made better. Like - the list of browsers specified in env var BROWSER is tried first before looking at the platform defaults. |
