I haven't used the module, but it looks like webbrowser.open() is
treating your URL as a relative pathname instead. So it takes the
current working directory (/home/krishna/), and appends the relative
path you gave it (file:///home/krishna/documents/tut.html). Instead,
try calling:
webbrowser.open("documents/tut.html")
If that works, also try
webbrowser.open("/home/krishna/documents/tut.html")
I suspect both of those will work. There must be some other syntax for
opening URLs directly. Or maybe it interoperates with urllib.
Cheers,
Cliff
