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.

def doctest_reload():
"""Properly reload doctest to reuse it interactively.
This routine:
- imports doctest but does NOT reload it (see below).
- resets its global 'master' attribute to None, so that multiple uses of
the module interactively don't produce cumulative reports.
- Monkeypatches its core test runner method to protect it from IPython's
modified displayhook. Doctest expects the default displayhook behavior
deep down, so our modification breaks it completely. For this reason, a
hard monkeypatch seems like a reasonable solution rather than asking
users to manually use a different doctest runner when under IPython.
Notes
-----
This function *used to* reload doctest, but this has been disabled because
reloading doctest unconditionally can cause massive breakage of other
doctest-dependent modules already in memory, such as those for IPython's
own testing system. The name wasn't changed to avoid breaking people's
code, but the reload call isn't actually made anymore."""
