render_html

render_html is a Python library that provides a simple way to render HTML content in a web browser. It allows you to open HTML content directly from a string or save it to a file and open it from the file. You can also specify the name of a browser to use a non-default browser. Please refer to webbrowser documentation for the complete list of predefined browsers. This library is especially useful for quickly visualizing and testing HTML content in a web browser environment.

Installation

You can install render_html using pip:

pip install render-html

NOTE: the library requires Python 3.10 or newer

Usage

from render_html import render_in_browser as ren
import requests

# Making a request with the requests library
response = requests.get('https://example.com')

# Rendering the HTML response in the default browser
html_content = response.text
ren(html_content)
