Question

I don’t have any Mac OSx or Linux machine, but I want to implement the functionality like opening an explorer from a selected file path.

for example

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen('explorer "E://temp//"')

the above code opens windows explorer for a specified path, how to do it for Mac or Linux ?

Answer 1

It looks like you can use xdg-open on linux and open on OS-X.

e.g.

subprocess.Popen(['xdg-open','/home/me/otherdir'])

or

subprocess.Popen(['open','/home/me/otherdir'])
