I just installed Splinter, input simple code like below but have error. Can someone help me on this? Thanks.
from splinter import Browser
b=Browser()
url = "http://www.google.com"
b.visit(url)
Error messages:

Try this instead:
from splinter import Browser
with Browser() as b:
b.visit("http://www.google.com")
Docs here: https://splinter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#sample-code
The method above handles quitting the browser. Your method, also in the docs, should work (it works for me). Try it again, I've noticed I get almost the same error as yours, if my url is "www.google.com". Make sure you have "http://" part.
