[New-bugs-announce] [issue21248] BROWSER env var described inaccurately in webbrowser docs

[David Turner]

New submission from David Turner:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/webbrowser.html says "If the environment variable BROWSER exists, it is interpreted to override the platform default list of browsers, as a os.pathsep-separated list of browsers to try in order."

This is not actually what happens; instead, it is prepended to the platform-default list of browsers.
