how to browse to a external url from turbogears/cherrypy application?

Question

I am writing a tinyurl clone to learn turbogears. I am wondering how do i redirect my browser to the external website (say www.yahoo.com) from my cherrypy/turbogears app?

I googled about it, but could not find much useful info.

Just raise a HTTPRedirect exception, which lives in the cherrypy namespace. Like this:

raise cherrypy.HTTPRedirect("http://www.yahoo.com")
