python - how to open a file with corresponding application from terminal? -

i new linux, great if help me on this!

i want open file, text file using text editor terminal. thing dont want view/edit file. know using cat or vi. wanted open corresponding application , wanted terminal. possible?

i wanted open file gui building. building gui using tkinter python.

so looking command open file utilize in subprocess command.

a repeat of before question, it's hard search if don't know "start" command in windows or "open" on osx. xdg-open linux desktop equivalent.

[edit] i'm taking requirement mean "command picture.jpg" should open in image viewer, "command song.mp3" should open in users music player etc. open from terminal, not literally in terminal... if command == xdg-open, should work.

python linux user-interface terminal tkinter
