Functions
`` |  | get(scheme) `Return the handler for URI's of the named scheme (e.g. http, file, ftp, etc.) The handler for file is always rox, otherwise it obtained from the configuration directory rox.sourceforge.net/URI. None is returned if no handler is defined. The returned string may contain %s in which case it should be replaced with the URI, otherwise append the URI (after a space).` launch(uri) `For a given URI pass it to the appropriate launcher. rox.uri_handler.get() is used to look up the launcher command which is executed. The process id of the command is returned (see os.wait()), or None if no launcher is defined for that URI.`
