Currently, os.startfile is implemented in Win32 only, but there are command line tools in Unix and MacOSX that have same behavior. As a result of http://portland.freedesktop.org, unix desktop has command line tool named "xdg-open" (http://portland.freedesktop.org/xdg-utils-1.0/xdg-open.html). And MacOSX has 'open' (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/open.1.html) command, and it can be used in same condition.
