If you want to open a web page in the user's default browser, check out the
webbrowser module in the standard library.

If you want to go to a website and suck down some data, you'll probably need
urllib (and it will be a bit more work).

There's no table widget in standard Tkinter.  Search in the Python Cookbook (on
ActiveState) for a MultiListbox; it might do what you need.
