webbrowser.os seems to just be a link to the standard os module.
So you should read the docs for os...and use the os module directly.

I'm not sure why because it works for me in both Python 2.7 and 3.4.
Which OS are you using? And which Python version?

But note that umask is a function so

webbrowser.os(umask)

returns a function reference. To get the umask value you must
supply one:

webbrowser.os(umask(0x777))

And the returned value will be the current umask() (Which you
should store and  restore when finished with the new umask)
