Hello.  This tracker is used to report bugs and file feature requests for 
Python itself, not request help (mailing list such as 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/ are appropriate venues to ask for 
for help).  I’m changing your question to a bug report about missing 
documentation.

[issue12237] Document how to open non-default webbrowser

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

The intended method of using a non-default browser is well documented and the 
OP did exactly the right thing. However, even if Opera is present, the 'right 
thing' does not work because nothing but iexplorer gets registered (and that 
not completely usefully), even if present on the system, because the 
registration code is buggy, as discussed in #10799.

Hirch, if you had clicked Search and entered 'webbrowser' in the 'All text' 
box, you could have found that report.

If you add a note to #10799 as to the exact default location of Opera (within 
Program Files, I presume), it might eventually help.
