New submission from Tony DiLoreto <tony.dilor...@gmail.com>:
The following code does not work on many OSX installations of Python via
homebrew:
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.open("http://www.google.com";)
And throws the following error stack trace:
File
"/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/webbrowser.py",
line 26, in register
register_standard_browsers()
File
"/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/webbrowser.py",

line 1702, in _execute_child
raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: 'xdg-settings'
The only workaround right now is to modify webbrowser.py via the instructions
here: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/3746#issuecomment-489259515.
Thank you for resolving.
