Start webbrowser in a thread. Prevents lockup with Chrome....
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.

""" Debug a script (like %run -d) in IPython process, Using WinPdb
Usage:
%wdb test.py
run test.py, with a winpdb breakpoint at start of the file
%wdb pass
Change the password (e.g. if you have forgotten the old one)
Notes
-----
**WARNING**: As of March 2009 (IPython 0.10), WinPdb has a known bug, which
causes PyTables to become impossible to import if winpdb is loaded. Therefore,
if you need PyTables, do *not* use this extension.
For more details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ipython/+bug/249036
