Python 2's webbrowser is not working in repl.it - google-chrome

Question

I am using repl.it, and also the webbrowser module to open a link using webbrowser.open(<link to open>)
But, my link doesn't work. Can you help me with this?
Here is my code:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("https://www.daffodilday.com.au/get-involved/register-your-school/", 2)
And a not-so-quick overview of the webbrowser module:

Can you help me? I mostly know about everything in Python, but still sometimes need quite quaintly a lot of effort.

Answer 1

You can simplify the answer like this:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open(*website*)
Of course, replace * website * with the site and no need to write the 2.
Then tell me if it works.
And by the way, some online python processor like pythonanywhere do not allow opening all websites.
Instead, they only allow some specific websites.
