[Tkinter-discuss] How to open a Microsoft Word file from Tkinter?

[The Helmbolds]

I managed to open a plain *.txt file in Microsoft Notepad from TkInter by using Python's "spawnv" command in its "os" module.

That does not seem to work for opening a *.txt or a *.doc file in Microsoft Word. 

How do I open a *.doc file in Microsoft Word from TkInter? Or is this so complicated it's not worth it?
