title: Python: generic webbrowser.get().open() for chrome.exe does not work
body: <p>I am on Python 2.7 (Win 8.1 x64) and I want to open a URL in Chrome.
  As Chrome is only natively supported in 3.3+, I was trying a generic call:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import webbrowser
  webbrowser.get("C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe %s").open("http://google.com")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The path is correct and print does give me a Handler:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"&lt;webbrowser.GenericBrowser object at 0x0000000002D26518\&gt;"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the open() - preferably open_new_tab()) - function does not work. It returns False.</p>
  
  <p>If I run the command </p>
  
  <pre><code>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "https://google.com"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in windows run dialog, it does do work, though.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>If I set Chrome as standard browser and run </p>
  
  <pre><code>webbrowser.get().open("http://google.com")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it does work, but it's not what I want.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone an idea what's going wrong?</p>
