Opening/Running files through python

[Ionis]

Hey guys, hope you can help me here.

I am running in windows and I am trying to open a file via python. I
want the file (a text file) to open up in the users default text
editor. I'm not wanting to read a file, I just want to open it. Is
there a way?

Thanks in advance.
