Open browser automatically when Python code is executed
I'd suggest the following improvement to allow for loading of the browser when in debug mode:
Inspired by this answer, will only load the browser on the first run...
def main():
# The reloader has not yet run - open the browser
if not os.environ.get("WERKZEUG_RUN_MAIN"):
webbrowser.open_new('http://127.0.0.1:2000/')
# Otherwise, continue as normal
app.run(host="127.0.0.1", port=2000)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Use timer to start new thread to open web browser.
import webbrowser
from threading import Timer
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def hello():
return "Hello World!"
def open_browser():
webbrowser.open_new('http://127.0.0.1:2000/')
if __name__ == "__main__":
Timer(1, open_browser).start();
app.run(port=2000)
