The GUI consoles I have are in Pycharm, the IDLE that comes with
Anaconda, and Spyder. PyCharm and IDLE both ask for internet access when
I open them, so they're capable of opening links, but whether that means
their output space is capable of handling clickable links I don't know.
I do know printing a full url with the %s specifier or entering a url
and clicking enter just gives you the plain text url. Obviously, not all
GUI consoles are enabled recognize and make clickable links from
correctly formatted urls.
I was hoping there was some functionality in python to make clickable
links. Could be a package, if the core language doesn't have it.
