Add option for "pydoc -b" to open new browser window. #120359

Description

@bulrush15

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Currently when one does pydoc -b in the cmd.exe command window, it opens your default browser to browse the documentation locally. If my default browser is already open it adds a tab to that browser.

I'd like the option to browse documentation in a brand new browser window. It's not critical how it's implemented. -b:newwindow might be used to create a new window of the default browser or use whatever standards are already in place.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
