Sven Marnach <s...@marnach.net> added the comment:
The semantics of "associated application" change considerably from operating
system to operating system. As an example, ``os.startfile("a.py")`` will
usually run `a.py` in the Python interpreter, while ``xdg-open a.py`` it will
usually open the source code in an editor on Linux. This might reduce the
overall usefulness of the proposed ``shutil.launch()`` function.
