webbrowser module bug?

[Ron Adam]

Is anyone else having problems with the webbrowser module?


Python 2.5.1c1 (release25-maint, Apr 12 2007, 21:00:25)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import webbrowser
 >>> webbrowser.open('http://www.python.org')
True
 >>>

It opens firefox as expected, but the url is ...

      file:///home/ron/%22http://www.python.org%22

Which of course doesn't do what is expected.

Any ideas?

Ron
