python - AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'startfile'

Question

Trying to run this program, I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "piltk.py", line 84, in <module>
    os.startfile(filename)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'startfile'

How to fix this ?

Answer 1

On Linux you can use:

import subprocess, sys

opener = "open" if sys.platform == "darwin" else "xdg-open"
subprocess.call([opener, filename])
