Hi All,

I have a zip file containing perhaps 800 html files. I want to use Python to
open one of these files in a browser.
Suppose the filename is myfile.html.

I've tried webbrowser and zipfile. These don't work.

The reason is that zipfile.read('myfile.html') returns a string, containing
the contents of the file. However, Webbrowser requires a URL (in this case
the name of an html file).

I don't want to save the string from zipfile.read to disk.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lance
