Use Flask to turn your code into a local web application:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def scrape_and_reformat():
    # call your scraping code here
    return ' ... generated html string ... '

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

Run the script, and point your browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
