os.system(cmd) isn't working

[Gregory Piñero]

Thanks to everyone for all the help!  After careful consideration I
decided to go with os.startfile(url)

It works just great!

Here's my program in case anyone's interested.  5 points if you can
guess what it does ;-)

"""Take a filepath from stdin and translate to the corresponding url and 
open up browser and show it."""
import sys
import os
myhtmlroot='C:\\Documents and Settings\\Gregory\\My
Documents\\blendedtechnologies\\trunk'
htmlroot='http://www.blendedtechnologies.com'
filepath=sys.argv[1]
filename=os.path.basename(filepath)
filedir=os.path.dirname(filepath).replace(myhtmlroot,'').replace('\\','/')
url=htmlroot+'/'+filedir+'/'+filename
os.startfile(url)
