I’m trying to start an application using Python. I’ve seen that some people use startfile but I also read that it only works with Windows. I’m using Mac systems and hoping for it to work with them.
Thanks,
Aaron
You can use
os.system("/path/to/myapp").See http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.system for documentation.
If you want more control over the process being executed, check out the subprocess module instead.
