def open_html_docs(page):
# In some Linux distros that package their webrowsers via snaps
# (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS), it is not possible to open a local HTML
# file if it is either (a) outside of $HOME or (b) in a hidden
# subdirectory of $HOME. As Python's default user-site directory
# on Linux is in $HOME/.local, this makes it impossible to access
# the local copy of the docs.

# For details, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1979060
