Feature idea: ability to view HTML file without saving to a file

[svisser]

It would be nice if this tool could be used without having to delete the HTML file afterwards (when you're done reviewing the CSV file).

For example, you'd run csvtotable my_file.csv --view (or similar) and view the HTML page in your browser directly without writing it to a file (similar to how you can run a webserver by doing python -m http.server 8000).

This is a great idea. I will implement this in next few releases.

what about webbrowser.open('/tmp/goog.html')? I don't think there is a need for a http server.

Added this feature in release v1.1.2.

@chfw Using webbrowser was the most logical solution instead of serving in http server. So I am creating a file inside temp folder created by python tempfile module and keeping the file open till keyboard interrupt exception is raised. You can refer the function here.

@vividvilla many thanks for adding this feature!
