The webbrowser module uses getopt, which needs to be ripped out and replaced with argparse. The attached file does just this.

This strikes me as pointless code churn.

Just to confirm,
getoptis still used inwebbrowseras of the beginning of the Python 3.13 cycle. Replacing it with argparse would improve usability, reduce manual argument parsing code and avoid the use of a legacy module, per #105735hugovk commentedon Mar 19, 2024
