Start webbrowser in a thread. Prevents lockup with Chrome. If a user has Chrome set as their default browser (system-wide or via the `BROWSER` environment variable), opening the notebook hangs because the chrome call doesn't return immediately. This solves the issue by opening the browser in a thread. Note that there remains an issue where killing the notebook will kill Chrome if the Chrome session was started by us. I haven't found a way to work around that despite attempts by making the webbrowser.open() call in a subprocess.

""" Simple TCP socket server that executes statements in IPython instance.
Usage:
import ipy_server
ipy_server.serve_thread(16455)
Now, to execute the statements in this ipython instance, open a TCP socket
(port 16455), write out the statements, and close the socket.
You can use e.g. "telnet localhost 16455" or a script to do this.
This is a bit like 'M-x server-start" or gnuserv in the emacs world.
