[maemo-developers] Launching web browser from python

[From: Luciano Miguel Wolf]

Hi David,

PyMaemo uses context, to have information about application running.
You can use webbrowser module, as Johan has pointed, but remember to it 
this way:

context = osso.Context("appname", "version", False), where version is 
your app version as "0.0.1" format, then call webbrowser this way:

webbrowser.open(url, context=context)

And about your question of full off-line: the browser will try to go 
online even if you use a localhost(127.0.0.1) connection.

Regards,
Luciano
