Dear D.J.: First, let me mention that you violated several of the unwritten rules of asking for help. For example, the code you typed into for email is not the same as the code in the picture you sent as an attachment (using a proprietary format). Code samples should be cut-and-paste, not retyped. The unwritten rules have been summarized at http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html <https://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecatb%2Eorg%2F%7Eesr%2Ffaqs%2Fsmart-questions%2Ehtml&urlhash=VCfv&_t=tracking_disc> This helps us help you.
Now to answer your question: The code you typed in has an incorrect URL, but it reliably opens a browser which informs me of that fact when run as a script from the command line using Python versions from 2.3 to 3.4. The only error in the code pictured in your attachment is the over-specification of the Python version in your #! line. It is correct to specify the version to the second level, like > #!python2.7 > but specifying the third level is an error in the Python Launcher for Windows (which you were not using.) As a practical matter, your code is not at all version sensitive, so you should simply use: > #!/usr/bin/python > After I removed the offending ".8" that version of the program also operated as expected in all versions tested. I tried running it from the pythonwin IDE (as you were doing in the screen capture) and it worked correctly in Python 2.7 and 3.4. This leads me to believe that the problem lies in your specific installation of Python. In what way might your installation be unusual? Might it, perhaps, have been installed without administrative privileges, or for only your user (not all users)?
