Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Greg Couch (gregcouch) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: CVS webbrowser.py (1.40) bugs Initial Comment: There are two calls to _safequote that are only made on darwin, aka, Mac OS X. That function is missing. And the UnixBrowser is missing an & in the "simpler command" and thus causes python to hang until the browser is exited (if it wasn't running already). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Greg Couch (gregcouch) Date: 2005-10-27 10:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=131838 And I don't want starting up firefox to hang my python GUI either. So, if you look at the code more closely, lynx/links/elinks subclass from GenericBrowser not UnixBrowser, so adding the & to UnixBrowser is the correct thing to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Oleg Broytmann (phd) Date: 2005-10-27 08:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=4799 Yes, _safequote() call seems like a bug. A leftover after I've merged a half dozens of patches into this one. Should be removed. But there should certainly be no '&'. You certainly dont want to start lynx/links/elinks in the background, do you?! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1338995&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
