How to open web in python

import urllib

fun open[]:
    return urllib.urlopen['//example.com']

But when example.com opens it does not render CSS or JavaScript. How can I open the webpage in a web browser?

@error[404]
def error404[error]:
    return webbrowser.open['//example.com']

I am using bottle. Giving me the error:

TypeError["'bool' object is not iterable",]

1

import webbrowser  
webbrowser.open[url, new=0, autoraise=True]

Display url using the default browser. If new is 0, the url is opened in the same browser window if possible. If new is 1, a new browser window is opened if possible. If new is 2, a new browser page [“tab”] is opened if possible. If autoraise is True, the window is raised

webbrowser.open_new[url]

Open url in a new window of the default browser

webbrowser.open_new_tab[url]

Open url in a new page [“tab”] of the default browser

You have to read the data too.

Check out : //www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/urllib2/ to understand it.

response = urllib2.urlopen[..]
headers = response.info[]
data = response.read[]

Of course, what you want is to render it in browser and aaronasterling's answer is what you want.

You could also try:

import os
os.system["start \"\" //example.com"]

This, other than @aaronasterling ´s answer has the advantage that it opens the default web browser. Be sure not to forget the "//".

Here is another way to do it.

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open["foobar.com"]

I think this is the easy way to open a URL using this function

webbrowser.open_new_tab[url]
