It's os.system('thefile') or os.system('start thefile') but
that's windows only.  It seems like there's no
platform-independent way to launch a preferred application to open
a file, but...

based on <http://cweiske.de/howto/launch/allinone.html>
I would suggest (by looking at sys.platform) to use "start" on
windows, "open" on mac, and on linux to use the xdg-open shell
script which is part of XdgUtils...

It works standalone. Even seems it would not take too much
effort to port it to python if you want.
