That doesn't work either:

   $ ls -l user.pdf
   -rw------- 1 grante users 35640 2005-11-21 14:33 user.pdf
   
   $ python
   Python 2.4.3 (#1, Dec 10 2006, 22:09:09) 
   [GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)] on linux2
   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
   information.
   >>> import os
   >>> os.system('user.pdf')
   sh: user.pdf: command not found

   >>>
