IIRC ShellExecute on Windows has support for verbs like this. But how would we implement support for "explore" / "share" / "send" / "like" on Mac OS X and Linux? The only flag I can think of supporting in a cross-platform way would be "execute=True", which on Windows would mean try the verb "run" before trying the default, and on OS X and Linux would mean look for the execute bit / the "#!" signature and run it if possible first before using "xdg-open". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3177> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
