It's the obligatory Slashdot.org headlines reader that any modern
widget set/library must have in order to be taken seriously :-)
You can read articles using either Python's html library or an external
browser. Uncheck the 'browser->internal' menu item to use the latter option.
-Use the settings dialog box to set how external browser is started.
