Any particular feason to open the file in binary mode? That can sometimes cause odd things to happen. > a.write("<html>Test</html>") > webbrowser.open(a.name) > a.close() The close should come before the browser reads the file, otherwise you are trying to read a file thats still open in write mode and the behaviouir there is "undefined" on most operating systems. > import tempfile > import webbrowser > a = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w+b',-1,'.html') Now you are making it even more complex by using a read/write mode binary temporary file! > a.write("<html>Test</html>") > webbrowser.open(a.name) > #a.close() > ********** > Have you got some suggestions to tackle this problem? Simplify the file handling to use text files and close the file as soon as possible. These are good guidelines for any file handling you do.
