You can do this with the win32aip module found in win32all
Home page
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html
files
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018
example:
....import win32api
....a = win32api.ShellExecute(0,None,"www.ishpeck.net",None,None,1)

Hope that is of help
