Take a look at the desktop module for a partial solution: http://www.python.org/pypi/desktop An example: import desktop desktop.open("itools-0.9.0.pdf") Apparently, os.startfile will expose (or already exposes) other parameters which may specify that the file be printed, amongst other things. I may well add such functionality to the desktop module, since various non-Windows systems have supported such things for a while. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
