[New-bugs-announce] [issue38647] Why only the MacOSXOSAScript in webbrowser does not have the name property?

[Yoshihiro Nagano]

New submission from Yoshihiro Nagano <y.nagano.92 at gmail.com>:

Hello.

I am using the webbrowser library in macOS and just found that only the MacOSXOSAScript object has `_name` property instead of `name.`
All of the other class, which is inherited from the BaseBrowser, has `name` property.
Are there any specific reasons for this API?
Or, are there any ways to access the name of the browser object independent from the browser type?

The corresponding implementation is shown below:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/4cb08b6c0ae6989d169dd48c2b24087941f6d0b0/Lib/webbrowser.py#L641-L643

Thank you.
