start is a shell command. It also has a quirk that the first quoted
argument is the window title. Here's the correct call:
subprocess.check_call('start "title" "%s"' % url, shell=True)
That said, since no arguments are being passed the simpler and more
secure way to call ShellExecute in this case is os.startfile(url).
