Python: launch default mail client on the system

问题


I'm fairly new to Python and I'm trying to write a plugin for a text editor.

I want to know if there is a way to launch default system E-Mail client from python code.


回答1:


With pywin32:

import win32api
win32api.ShellExecute(0,'open','mailto:',None,None ,0)

Update

Ah, I misread your question and presumed you're on Win platform. A platform independent solution would be open mailto link in a browser, like

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('mailto:', new=1)

Update 2

Some additional research (in fact, first two pages of google search) revealed this excellent snippet:
