This works fine for me on Windows XP.
I did this:
glob.glob(r'c:\test')
which gave me something like this:
['c:\\test\\07-24TimeSheet.xls', 'c:\\test\\accts.CSV', 'c:\\test\
\Ataris Aqu\xe1ticos #2.txt', 'c:\\test\\changes.txt', 'c:\\test\
\change_g.txt', 'c:\\test\\config.ini', 'c:\\test\\County.txt', 'c:\
\test\\county1.txt', 'c:\\test\\ctypes-1.0.1.tar.gz', 'c:\\test\
\DAMNATUS_Soundtrack.zip', 'c:\\test\\doodad.1.12.3.doc', 'c:\\test\
\doodad.1.32.3.doc', 'c:\\test\\doodad.22.12.3.doc', 'c:\\test\
\emailMess.xml', 'c:\\test\\Eula.txt', 'c:\\test\\fasta.txt', 'c:\\test
\\Funds.txt', 'c:\\test\\Funds2.txt', 'c:\\test\\Gmane.newsrc', 'c:\
\test\\groups.ini', 'c:\\test\\hammy.doc']
Now, if I use os.system like this, it works:
os.system('notepad %s' % x[1])
This opens notepad with my *.csv file just fine. Windows XP, Python
2.5.2.
