The webbrowser module provides a high-level interface to allow displaying Web-based documents to users. Under most circumstances, simply calling the open() function from this module will do the right thing.
Please note: Pythonista uses a custom version of this module that only supports the open() function. The behavior is different from other platforms in that web pages are opened in an embedded browser view within the app for http(s) and file URLs. For custom URL schemes that are registered by an app (e.g. mailto:), the registered app is opened. This also works for third-party apps.
Display url in an in-app browser, if the scheme of the URL is http, https or file. Using other URL schemes can be used to open native apps that are registered for these schemes.
If you want to open http or https URLs in Safari instead of the built-in browser, you can replace http(s) with safari-http(s) in your URL, e.g. ‘safari-http://google.com’.
If the URL is valid (regardless of if it could actually be loaded by the browser) True is returned, otherwise False.
The modal parameter controls whether the function should block until the Done button is tapped in the browser. It defaults to False. When this function is used to open an external app, the parameter is ignored.
If the stop_when_done parameter is set to True, tapping the Done button automatically stops the script.
Warning
This function is deprecated and should not be used. For backwards-compatibility reasons, it will return True for any well-formed URL, regardless of whether an app is installed that can handle it. This change was necessary because of privacy-related changes in iOS 9.
Add a given URL with optional title and preview text to Safari’s Reading List.
Only http and https URLs are supported.
