[issue29644] Importing webbrowser outputs a message on stderr

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I considered that problem of "subprocess invocation as a side-effect of import", but in this case the output is needed by the immediately following "register_X_browsers()" call, as it affects how those browsers get inserted into webbrowser._tryorder.

That means there isn't any obvious way to delay it without a fairly significant refactoring of how the module works :(
