start is a shell command. It also has a quirk that the first quoted

subprocess.check_call('start "title" "%s"' % url, shell=True)
Is that properly escaped to handle any arbitrary URL? I doubt it.
Do you actually need shell=True? I would strongly recommend using the
form that I used, unless it can be proven that that doesn't work.
As stated, start is not an executable on Windows, but it is a built-in
command of cmd.exe. And thus it has very quirky quotation rules. This is
unlike Linux, where "xdg-open" is a shell script, and OSX, where "open"
is a binary executable.
