'In MacOS, the webbrowser open function not return
I want to open a web browser tab with this simple python script:
import webbrowser
print('About to open')
webbrowser.open('http://google.fr')
print('Opened')
When I try it in my MacOS terminal, the tab is correctly opened but the script does not return:
> python test.py
About to open
When I finally interrupt the terminal with 'ctrl-c', I obtain this stacktrace:
^CTraceback (most recent call last):

KeyboardInterrupt
I have the same behaviour with an ipykernel. The function was correctly returning with my previous configuration (Linux / Intel).

Solution 1:[1]
Suprise this morning.
After rebooting my Mac, it finally worked properly. I uncountered some problems on Firefox (strange errors, impossible to launch it).
I think mistake is due to firefox and not webbrowser python module. We'll see if it happen again...
