Opening a local html file in the same folder

I understand this a pretty basic and stupid question but I can't seem to find a straight answer on here. I want to open a local file named 'test.html' that is in the same folder as my program in the default web browser. How can I do this?

You can use python webbrowser library. https://docs.python.org/2/library/webbrowser.html

import os
import webbrowser

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

webbrowser.open('file://' + os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'test.html'))
