PS C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code> pip install webbrowser Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement webbrowser (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for webbrowser

The command attempts to install a Python package named webbrowser using pip, the Python package manager. However, it encounters an error because:

  1. webbrowser is not a valid Python package available on PyPI (Python Package Index):

    • The webbrowser module is part of Python's standard library, so it does not need to be installed using pip. It comes pre-installed with Python.
  2. Error Details in the Output:

    • Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writable: Pip is attempting a user-specific installation because it doesn't have permission to install packages system-wide.
    • ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement webbrowser: This error indicates there is no package named webbrowser available on PyPI.
    • ERROR: No matching distribution found for webbrowser: Reiterates that PyPI doesn't have any package named webbrowser.

In simpler terms:

The code fails because you're trying to install a standard library module (webbrowser) as a third-party package, which is not correct or necessary. You can directly import webbrowser into your Python code without installing it.
