Georg Brandl  added the comment:

Oh, sorry.  Shouldn't do too many things at once.

Well, I think there aren't many webbrowsers that come as a .com file, for 
example.  And as Amaury shows, the patch can't be applied as is anyway.

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc  added the comment:

I was to suggest to use the PATHEXT variable instead of a hardcoded list of 
extensions, 
but does all this work at all?

For example, I added a "opera.bat" in my current directory.
a browser named 'opera' was registered, but it did not start!

>>> webbrowser.get('opera').open('http://www.google.com')
False

And indeed, the subprocess module does not start .bat files unless "shell=True" 
is given.

Windows has a plenty of executable extensions that can be dynamically
added. You may want to look at patch at issue 2200
http://bugs.python.org/file11359/spawn.patch.txt for workaround.
