I can confirm (and possibly explain) everything that Bram
reports.
1. The '-remote' switch on the command line for mozilla only
works on Unix/Linux, as documented in
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html. So
executing the command line
"Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" - remote
"openURL(...)"
doesn't load this url, it only starts mozilla.
2. webbrowser.py on Windows (for me at least) doesn't
instantiate the Netscape class - it uses WindowsDefault,
which simply uses startfile(url). So, the 'new' and
'autoraise' arguments are not even used.
Looking at the docs for the webbrowser module, the words 'if
possible' are used very often. So it seems, it simply is not
possible on windows.
(The only thing which should be fixed in the docs is that
the win32api and win32con modules are mentioned, but they
are not used in the code - so this should be removed IMO).
I suggest to close the bug if noone comes up with a patch. |
