Subject: EditorWindow.python_docs():
X-Git-Tag: v2.0b1~1775
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8638ace511263de2cbe0031f51712d831aba2c22;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

EditorWindow.python_docs():
        Instead of using Netscape through os.system(), use the new
        browser.open() function to load the documentation on the
        default browser.  On Windows, this will use the installed
        documentation if it exists, instead of hitting python.org.
