[Pythoncard-users] SourceForgeTracker can launch web pages

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I updated SourceForgeTracker so that when you double-click on an item in the
topics list it jumps to the tracker item in your web browser. It has no
impact on whether you are logged in or not to SourceForge. This makes it
easy to make modifications of an item or see the other details if you really
need that. The code to support this is pretty straightforward (sorry about
the wrapping):

    def doLaunch(self, url):
        # launch a new browser window and autoraise it
        # there appears to be a bug in webbrowser.py because
        # if a window already exists, a new one isn't being created ?!
        webbrowser.open(url, 1, 1)

    def on_topicList_mouseDoubleClick(self, target, event):
        #
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=446264&group_id=190
15&atid=119015
        selection = target.getStringSelection()
        if selection != "":
            artifactId, summary =
target.getStringSelection().split(TOPIC_SEPARATOR)
            group = self.components.choiceGroups.selection
            groupId = self.groupIds[group]
            category = self.components.choiceCategories.selection
            categoryId = self.categoryIds[group][category]
            url =
'http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=' + \
                  str(artifactId) + '&group_id=' + str(groupId) + '&atid=' +
str(categoryId)
            self.doLaunch(url)
