on windows, you can use the "os.startfile" function:

      import os
      os.startfile("mydocument.doc")

(this is the same as double-clicking on a document in the file explorer)

on other platforms, use os.system() and specify what application to run:

      import os
      os.system("someapp mydocument.doc")
