My previous post got a many helps from the people, and I tested what
they suggested. Since this topic maybe needed in future, so I drop
these lines below to help the future programmers. The methods worked
as below:

1. This method was suggested by Cameron Laird:

      os.system("start %s" % URL)

It works. But, if the URL contains character &, it will fail. For

2. The best way is to use urllib2, suggested by Ron Barak, my code is
below:

import urllib2
source = urllib2.urlopen(URL).read()
print source

Note that both methods are essencially different. The first one opens a browser window, and it's up to the user what to do after the initial request is done -- if this is what you want, the webbrowser module is better suited for that task. The second one is a pure programming interfase - the Python script is in control, and the user isn't involved at all.
