cherrypy

I have a html page displayed using...

cherrypy.quickstart(ShowHTML(htmlfile), config=configfile)

Once the page is loaded (eg. initiated via. the command 'python mypage.py'), I would like to automatically launch the browser to display the page (eg. via. http://localhost/8000). Is there any way I can achieve this (eg. via. a hook within CherryPy), or do I have to call-up the browser manually (eg. by double-clicking an icon)?

TIA Alan
