[issue10738] webbrowser.py bug with Opera on Linux

NE1 report at bugs.python.org
Sun Dec 19 16:05:23 CET 2010


New submission from NE1 <garberr at verizon.net>:

Tested with Python 2.7.1 / Linux 2.6.33.2 / Opera 10.63. Build 6450 for Linux

class Opera(UnixBrowser) shows:
raise_opts = ["", "-raise"]

"-raise" is not a valid command line option for Opera.

This causes all webbrowser open methods (that use autoraise=True by default) to not work correclty with Opera (webbrowser.open returns True, but Opera does not open, etc).

The raise options should probably be changed to:
raise_opts = ["-noraise", ""]

Opera - UNIX Command Line Options: http://www.opera.com/docs/switches/#unix
