start default application for read a pdf from python

[Angelo Ballabio]

Sorry to not be very specific

My problem is a way to run a default application to read and show a pdf 
file from unix or windows, i have a mixed ambient in the office, so I am 
try to find a way to start a application to show this pdf file I 
generate whith reportlab. actualy I write a file in a directory and then 
I have to open the directory find a file and open it, I try to find a 
way to do this automatic, in this way then they only have to close the 
windows.

sorry I do not see before is only for windows, so this means under unix 
system I cant to use.

thenks for the suggestion
