Python webbrowser.open() not working in VS Code

Question

I am trying to open a webpage using Python, and my editor is VS Code.

This is the code:

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open('google.com')

This won't work while using VS Code, but it does work when I'm using IDLE.

What am I misunderstanding? What have I not done/done incorrectly? I have the Open in Browser extension by TechER, but even with this, I can't open a web browser page while using VS Code, and nothing I've found has been remotely helpful or even hints at what to do.

I'm clearly missing something in VS Code, but I don't have even the slightest clue as to what.

Answer 1

Can you check which interpreter is VSCode using because sometimes VSCode downloads the interpreter somewhere else. To change the environment of VSCode you can take a look at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments

Answer 2

Just Set Your Browser:

import webbrowser

firefoxPath = "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe %s"

webbrowser.get(firefoxPath).open(firstUrl)

in VScode
