How to close the existing browser tab using the Python webbrowser package

问题

Using Python webbrowser package I can open a new tab with a specified URL. Is there a way to close this tab? I referred the below official docs and nothing related to close action is mentioned.

Python webbrowser package doc: https://docs.python.org/3/library/webbrowser.html

回答1:

No, webbrowser doesn't have methods to close tabs nor browser itself as you may see in its documentation page: https://docs.python.org/2/library/webbrowser.html

You could

Use a hotkey using the pykeyboard library which you can read about at https://github.com/SavinaRoja/PyUserInput

or the keyboard library at https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard

Another (but probably worse) option is:

You may use a "taskkill" command like

import os    
os.system("taskkill /im chrome.exe /f")

However, this will just kill all processes and close the chosen program (in this case chrome.exe)

(This also may delete data from the browser, f.eks. you lose all you're windows even tho you have chosen in settings to save them for next time you open your browser)
