webbrowser.open_new alternatives for Windows

[Robert]

how can i open a _NEW_ browser window on Windows ?
(It should be browser independent. at least for IE, Mozilla &
Netscape)

i found a snippet/suggestion for "IE only" in this group but it
doesn't work, open also in old window:


from win32com.client import Dispatch
def start(url):
    w=Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
    w.Navigate2(url)
    w.visible=1
start("http://www.python.org")
start("http://www.zope.com")
