Launch HTML code in browser (that is generated by BeautifulSoup) straight from Python

Using webbrowser.open:

import os
import webbrowser

html = '<html> ...  generated html string ...</html>'
path = os.path.abspath('temp.html')
url = 'file://' + path

with open(path, 'w') as f:
    f.write(html)
webbrowser.open(url)

Alternative using NamedTemporaryFile (to make the file eventually deleted by OS):

import tempfile
import webbrowser

html = '<html> ...  generated html string ...</html>'

with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w', delete=False, suffix='.html') as f:
    url = 'file://' + f.name
    f.write(html)
webbrowser.open(url)
