problem opening html file with webbrowser.open

[krishnakant Mane]

hello all,
as I posted in my previous thread, I am generating html reports for my
client software.
I am yet to find a satisfactory module which can help me actually
create headings, bold and italics etc without merging html with data
variables.
any ways I am right now doing the hamd coding myself.  may be I have
overlooked some module.
right now I am in the process of trying templayer.
but my main issue is that when I use the
webbrowser.open("file:///home/myname/report.html"), webbroser opens
but the page does not come up.
there is certainly some thing wrong in what I am giving to the open function.
can some one correct me?
regards,
Krishnakant.
