I want to use `os.startfile` to open a folder in Explorer/Nautilus/Finder. The documentation says that it's only implemented on Windows: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#os.startfile See discussion on Python-ideas here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/python-ideas/LL0SavbKrEA Is there a good reason why `os.startfile` is implemented only on Windows?
