Starting seperate programs

Is there a way for a python program start another python program, and then continue, without waiting for the second program to finish?
os.startfile() seems to be what I want on windows, but I need it to work on linux and mac as well.
Is there a function that does essentially the same as startfile, but without needing an associtated program (i.e. asking for one)?

Thanks in advance...
Dave
