Choose browser when opening a URI

Package Description

chooser is a graphical utility that enables one to choose which web browser to use when opening a URI.

Quick Start

Make sure that pyxdg and wxPython are installed on your system. If you have pip installed, run:

pip install chooser

You can also download the source tarball, unpack, and run:
