Ceci fonctionne sur XP et Vista, esperant jusqu'a que
termine le ImageViewer. C'est possible de utiliser le
subprocess, mais j'oublie toujours les options differents.

This works on XP and Vista, waiting until the ImageViewer
has exited. You could use the subprocess module, but I
never remember the different options.

<code>
import os

filepath = "c:/temp/test.jpg"
assoc = os.popen ("assoc .jpg").read ().splitlines ()[0]
_, filetype = assoc.split ("=")
ftype = os.popen ("ftype %s" % filetype).read ().splitlines ()[0]
_, exe = ftype.split ("=")

#
# NB *must* use correct slashes
#
cmd = exe.replace ("%1", os.path.normpath (filepath))
os.system (cmd)

</code>
