I want to run / open a specific .txt document or a .html web page at the end of a process. I've looked everywhere for the solution to no avail. The closest I've come to what I need is:

import subprocess    
subprocess.call(["notepad.exe"])

but as you already may know, this only opens a blank notepad instance, which is not what I want. Any ideas?

use `subprocess.popen(["notepad", "filename"])` – Bijay Regmi Apr 30 '21 at 18:43
I did work for notepad, but how can I also open a webpage? – Bert_AT Apr 30 '21 at 19:35
Never mind. I found the answer. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4302027/how-to-open-a-url-in-python – Bert_AT Apr 30 '21 at 19:40
By the way, `subprocess.popen(["notepad", "filename"])` doesn't work in Python 3, but `subprocess.Popen()` – Bert_AT Apr 30 '21 at 20:03
