NOT IMPLEMENTED Fallback controls whether launch() falls back gracefully to less prefered application options--to a nonGUI application if no GUI application is found, or to a viewer application if no edit application can be found. On Windows, calls os.startfile(), and attempts to call it first, irrespective of os.name or system.platform. On Mac OS X, uses the ```open `_`` command. On non-Mac Unix, uses the ```xdg-open `_`` command and fails if it can't be run (e.g., when it's not installed). :raises NotImplementedError: on non-Mac Unix when ``xdg-open`` fails :raises IOError: with *:attr:`errno` = :data:`errno.ENOENT`*, when path doesn't exist :raises OSError: with *:attr:`errno` = :data:`errno.ENOSYS`*, when OS cannot find an appropriate application association :returns: None Example: >>> import os.path >>> launch(os.path.realpath(__file__),'open') """ # FIXME: Is OSError(errno.ENOSYS) the right error to raise? # TODO: Utilize best-practices from Mercurial project: # http://selenic.com/repo/hg-stable/file/2770d03ae49f/mercurial/ui.py # http://selenic.com/repo/hg-stable/file/2770d03ae49f/mercurial/util.py import sys, os, subprocess, errno # Ensure cross-platform path (Windows-friendly) path = os.path.normpath(path) # Guess user's desired operation (Windows verb) operation = operation or 'open' # Force case and padding to comply with Windows verb specification operation = operation.strip().lower() # Too presumptive, and wouldn't help for most typos ??? # operation = operation[:min(len(operation),7] # if os.name == 'nt' or sys.platform.startswith('win32') ??? if hasattr(os,'startfile') and hasattr(os.startfile, '__call__'): os.startfile(path, operation) elif sys.platform.startswith('darwin'): # or os.name == 'mac' ??? # https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/open.1.html proc = subprocess.Popen( ['open', path], stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL) _, stderr_output = proc.communicate() if proc.returncode: if stderr_output.endswith("does not exist."): raise IOError(errno.ENOENT, "The path %s does not exist" % repr(path), path) from err elif stderr_output.startswith("No application can open"): raise OSError(errno.ENOSYS, "No application associated with file type in", path) from err elif os.name == 'posix': try: subprocess.check_call(['xdg-open', path], stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL) except subprocess.CalledProcessError as err: # http://portland.freedesktop.org/xdg-utils-1.0/xdg-open.html manpage for return code meanings if err.returncode == 2: raise IOError(errno.ENOENT, "Path %s does not exist" % repr(path), path) from err elif err.returncode == 3: raise OSError(errno.ENOSYS, "No application associated with file type in", path) from err else: raise except EnvironmentError as err: if err.errno == errno.ENOENT: # xdg-open not installed/accessible raise NotImplementedError from err else: raise
