Python and Webbrowser

Question

How can I access the internet with Python? Unfortunately, “import webbrowser”... webbrowser.open ("https://news.google.com/?pt1=true#0") or “open.Webbrowser ...” does not work. Does somebody has any idea? Thank you.

Answer 1

Thank you for your answer. I tried it with selenium. An error message did not come! Presumably, the system still needs to know which browser.?! Thanks first for your quick reply. 👍👍👍 I will look again.😉

Answer 2

But one question is completely unclear to me. If I enter "Python WebBrowser Most Recent" then I get 6 programs from the last 2 years, all of which look similar: "import webbrowser
a = webbrowser.open ( "www.google.com")
print (a)
But not a single code works.
It must have worked at least once, at the time of publication. Why does not this work anymore?

Answer 3

Thank you. Very helpful your answer.

Answer 4

yes Shane Umayanga you are right. 😉
Instead of answers, I only get stupid questions. Only Jason Edelson was very helpful. Thanks again. Luckily I'm very close to the solution.👍

Answer 5

Jason Edelson
Many thanks for your effort. I will try it (probably not today). THANK YOU👍👍👍😉

Answer 6

Okay. Thank you. What do you mean with Idle?

Answer 7

And all the other coders who published the programs knew about the problem?

Answer 8

Thanks a lot for your efforts. Then Python most likely is out of the question for me.

EDIT: (if I can not find another solution)

Answer 11

Apple Blossom Many thanks for your response. I guess we speak from Linux. I have Linux on my laptop for years and then I would know to help me too. Now that wanted to do it with my mobile phone. And I also found a way. Will this work out in the near future. But I'm very grateful for your solution. Thanks a lot. 👍👍👍😉

Answer 12

import requests if you want to work with html. if you want to actually open a browser import selenium

Answer 13

Why do people think Google = The Internet?

Answer 14

If anyone is still trying to figure it out and needs an example here
make sure your driver is in the same location as your .py code

Answer 15

Idle is the default editor/shell that comes with python when downloaded.
Possible issues are fixed as long as path to browser is provided

Answer 16

Kebap that's programming 😂

Answer 17

Tried that exact code in Idle and it worked.
Opened google and outputted true.
I believe if you have no default browser set you will encounter an error, trying on linux may also have issues.

Answer 18

I would recommend You to use ,,grab" lib
