Hello,
>>is there any function/module that allows me to open a directory in the
>>default file manager of a operating system?

The os module gives you file & directory management functions, but not a
graphical file manager.
The os module also has many functions for spawning other processes



This doesn't open a File Manager- per se, it opens a platform independent
File Browser, and from it you can do some limited functions that a file
manager would.

Try EasyDialogs
(On Windows you need to install it first, it's part of the Mac python
distribution, but is not for Windows.

EasyDialogs.AskFolder

also

EasyDialogs.AskFileForOpen
