Python: generic webbrowser.get().open() for chrome.exe does not work

Question

I am on Python 2.7 (Win 8.1 x64) and I want to open a URL in Chrome. As Chrome is only natively supported in 3.3+, I was trying a generic call:

import webbro         


        

Answer 1

You can try this:

import webbrowser

chrome_path = "path_where_chrome_is_located"
webbrowser.register('chrome', None, webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser(chrome_path))

webbrowser.get('chrome').open('url')
