Import the modules and use the help() function to see the docs.

it has not changed,guess there is path problem.
When you run that script it fill in
sys.executable(path) and try to run wep.py(has no path).So if
web.py is not in same folder as script you run there will be problems

Does that script normally run under both versions?

This web.py script runs fine in both 2.7 and 3.6.
import webbrowser
def websites():
new = 2
choice = input('Type site name:\n> ') # I have raw_input here to run in 2.7
site = choice
url1 = 'www..com'
url = 'http://' + url1[:4] + site + url1[4:]
webbrowser.open(url,new)
if __name__ == "__main__":
websites()I do have both programs in the same directory so I don't know why the one won't open the other in 3.6.

Try running from command line.
RE: sys.executable python 2.7 vs 3.6 - mcmxl22 - Jan-04-2017
It runs fine from the command line. I hadn't setup my command line to run both versions of python so I had to go figure that out. Now it works.
