> - ability to show context of a given URL in menu

> This is a Python script (too lazy to do it in C and don't have the time), so
> you'll need Python. Tested under Python 2.1, not sure about earlier versions.
> Also uses the curses library for screen output.

Hi Maciej,
quite nice, with a few nits:
curses.wrapper () initializes color support, and I haven't found a
way to make it set the background transparent. besides, the colors
are quite unpleasant.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/roman/bin/pyurlview.py", line 346, in ?
main()
File "/home/roman/bin/pyurlview.py", line 339, in main
curses.wrapper(frob_urls)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
res = apply(func, (stdscr,) + rest)
File "/home/roman/bin/pyurlview.py", line 219, in frob_urls
stdscr.move(h-1, 0)
_curses.error: wmove() returned ERR
Looks like this happens when the new size of the window is more than
2x the original, or less than 1/2 of the original. I'm talking about
resizing the window, of course.
and last, what's with that GPL everybody seems to be hypnotized?
