[New-bugs-announce] [issue24452] Make webbrowser support Chrome on Mac OS/X

[Ned Batchelder]

New submission from Ned Batchelder:

This doesn't work on Python 3.4 on a Mac with Yosemite and Chrome installed:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.get("chrome")

This patch makes it work:
```

      # Don't clear _tryorder or _browsers since OS X can use above Unix support
      # (but we prefer using the OS X specific stuff)
      register("safari", None, MacOSXOSAScript('safari'), -1)
      register("firefox", None, MacOSXOSAScript('firefox'), -1)
+     register("chrome", None, MacOSXOSAScript('chrome'), -1)
      register("MacOSX", None, MacOSXOSAScript('default'), -1)


  # OK, now that we know what the default preference orders for each
  # platform are, allow user to override them with the BROWSER variable.
