Oh, and i forgot to mention... i was pretty disappointed that:
 setenv BROWSER my_browser_program
 python -c 'import webbrowser; webbrowser.open("http://python.org/")'
doesn't execute "my_browser_program http://python.org/" as i would
have hoped. Even for a known browser type:
 setenv BROWSER lynx
 python -c 'import webbrowser; webbrowser.open("http://python.org/")'
does not work as expected, either. (Red Hat Linux here.)
