webbrowser.open() opens absolute path +URL instead of URL

Jul 24th, 2008

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

 url='http://www.google.com'
 webbrowser.open_new_tab(url)

This should open the google.com webpage, but instead it attempts to open :

"file:///u/guest/python/%22http%3A//www.google.com%22

guest is my username, and /u/guest/python is where I execute the script from .

Could you please tell me why this is happening ?

Thanks
