[PyQt] Menu Item Opening Web Page?

[Brent Villalobos]

I found a non-Qt way of doing this in python.  It is simple enough to 
connect the action to a function that calls webbrowser.open().  Python 
rules!

For example, I want to create a "User Documentation" menu option that will just open up a specific web page using the default browser.  Qt must have some sort of smarts for this because if I create a hyperlink in a text field it will do just that.  I'm just trying to figure out how to do that with menu options.  Any thoughts?
