I’m trying to send a user to a hyperlink via a button click. I’ve found HyperlinkCtrl, and been able to print out a string for the link, but can’t find docs on how to tie it to a button.
HyperlinkEvent is popping up in google searches, but I can’t find docs or examples on how to link it to my button event.
If anyone has an example I could learn from or point me to the right docs that would be awesome, thank you!

If you just want to open up a link when a button is clicked this is much easier
import webbrowser
def OnButton(self, evt):
webbrowser.open('http://google.com')

Indeed that is a heck of a lot easier. 
Thanks Cody.

In addition to what Cody said, you may also want to use the subprocess module. I've dealt with some websites that just won't load or won't load correctly in anything except Internet Explorer, so if you need to launch a specific browser rather than the default (which is what the webbrowser module does), subprocess is the way to go.

You could do use a specific browser with webbrowser too, I never done it but at least the doc says so.
get([name])
Return a controller object for the browser type name. If name is empty, return a controller for a default browser appropriate to the caller's environment.

Oops...I've never done that either, so I guess I forgot about it. Just ignore my babbling...
