Utilopen

[henryiii]

This is a minor utility to allow opening files in the native viewer. This is similar to webbroswer.open, but according to the official docs:

Note that on some platforms, trying to open a filename using this function, may work and start the operating system’s associated program. However, this is neither supported nor portable

This is a portable way to do it without abusing that module. It is in plumbum.path.utils and is called gui_open.

Works on Mac, Linux, Windows.
