I can't reproduce this. I tried reportbug on testing and it worked fine. Importing webbrowser works fine (on unstable too): python3 Python 3.5.3rc1 (default, Jan 3 2017, 04:40:57) [GCC 6.3.0 20161229] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import webbrowser >>> reassigning to libpython3.5-stdlib, since that's what provides webbrowser. Lowering severity since it's not consistently a problem. Scott K
