Using python for google search? [duplicate]

Question

If I have a variable, lets say, favorite singer, I want to open the web browser and search for that singer. I was planning to use the following code to open Google, but how can I make the users input become the actual search itself?

webbrowser.open('www.google.com')

I tried the code from that link and it didn't work.

To pre-populate the searchbox, use:

import webbrowser
from urllib import urlencode

webbrowser.open('http://www.google.com/?' + urlencode({'q': 'the quick brown fox'}))

Thanks Jon. I want to use GPS coordinates and put them into google maps. So how would I do that? Here is some code (which doesn't work) webbrowser.open('www.google.com/maps/',longitude_ref) I have longitude_ref stored as a variable, but I want to use it to search.

@user2519572 Using a comma will add a space. Simply, use +. Or even .format()

@user2519572 you'll need to find the right url from experimenting with your browser, and then opening that...
