* bpo-43137: webbrowser: Replace gvfs-open and gnome-open with "gio open" ↵Simon McVittie2021-11-251-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (GH-29154) * [bpo-43137](): webbrowser: Prefer gio open over gvfs-open gvfs-open(1) was superseded by gio(1) in 2015, and removed from GNOME releases in 2018. Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu currently still have a compatibility shim for gvfs-open, but we plan to remove it. webbrowser prefers xdg-settings and xdg-open over gvfs-open, so this will only have any practical effect on systems where the xdg-utils package is not installed. Note that we don't check for GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID before using gio. gio does the right thing on any desktop environment that follows freedesktop.org specifications, similar to xdg-settings, so it's unnecessary to guard in this way. GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID was deprecated in 2008 and removed from upstream gnome-session in 2018 (it's still present in Debian/Ubuntu for backward compatibility, but probably shouldn't be). The replacement way to detect a desktop environment is the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable, which is a colon-separated sequence where the first item is the current desktop environment and the second and subsequent items (if present) are other desktop environments that it resembles or is based on. Resolves: * [bpo-43137](): webbrowser: Never invoke gnome-open gnome-open was part of GNOME 2, which was superseded in around 2010 and is unmaintained. The replacement was gvfs-open, which was subsequently replaced by gio(1) (as used in the previous commit). * [bpo-43137](): webbrowser: Don't run gvfs-open on GNOME gvfs-open was deprecated in 2015 and removed in 2018. The replacement is gio(1) (as used in a previous commit). GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID was deprecated in 2008 and removed in 2018. The replacement is XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (as mentioned in a previous commit). --- To test this on a typical modern Linux system, it is necessary to disable the `xdg-settings` and `xdg-open` code paths, for example with this hack: <details><summary>Hack to disable use of xdg-settings and xdg-open</summary> ```diff diff --git a/Lib/webbrowser.py b/Lib/webbrowser.py index 3244f206aa..8f6c09d1d2 100755 --- a/Lib/webbrowser.py +++ b/Lib/webbrowser.py @@ -459,7 +459,7 @@ def open(self, url, new=0, autoraise=True): def register_X_browsers(): # use xdg-open if around - if shutil.which("xdg-open"): + if 0 and shutil.which("xdg-open"): register("xdg-open", None, BackgroundBrowser("xdg-open")) # Opens an appropriate browser for the URL scheme according to @@ -549,7 +549,7 @@ def register_standard_browsers(): # Prefer X browsers if present if os.environ.get("DISPLAY") or os.environ.get("WAYLAND_DISPLAY"): try: - cmd = "xdg-settings get default-web-browser".split() + cmd = "false xdg-settings get default-web-browser".split() raw_result = subprocess.check_output(cmd, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL) result = raw_result.decode().strip() except (FileNotFoundError, subprocess.CalledProcessError, PermissionError, NotADirectoryError) : ``` </details> I haven't attempted to assess which of the specific web browsers such as Galeon are still extant, and which ones disappeared years ago.

| | | | | | | Would be nice to backport to python 3.7+. I don't think it's worth the hassle to backport this all the way down to 3.10. But I'll let the maintainers decide. This is hard to test because the test setup already includes this [environment variable](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/test/pythoninfo.py#L292) Let me know if something doesn't match the PR guidelines. This is my first PR in the python source code.

* bpo-24241: Improve preferred webbrowser handling (#85)David Steele2017-02-251-12/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add 'preferred' argument to webbrowser.register - Use xdg-settings to specify preferred X browser The first change replaces the existing undocumented tri-state 'try_order' parameter with the documented boolean keyword-only 'preferred' parameter. Setting it to True places the browser at the front of the list, preferring it as the return to a subsequent get() call. The second change adds a private `_os_preferred_browser` setting and then uses that to make the default browser reported by `xdg-settings` first in the try list when running under X (or another environment that sets the `DISPLAY` variable). This avoids the problem where the first entry in the tryorder queue otherwise defaults to xdg-open, which doesn't support the "new window" option.
