Refresh a local web page using Python

Question

I\'m using Python to gather some information, construct a very simple html page, save it locally and display the page in my browser using webbrowser.open(\'file:///c:/testfi

If you're going to need a refresh on the same tab, you'll need selenium webdriver. After installing selenium using pip, you can use the following code

    from selenium import webdriver
import time
import urllib
import urllib2

x=raw_input("Enter the URL")
refreshrate=raw_input("Enter the number of seconds")
refreshrate=int(refreshrate)
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://"+x)
while True:
    time.sleep(refreshrate)
    driver.refresh()

This will open the url and refresh the tab every refreshrate seconds
