I'm trying to start an application using Python. I've seen that some people use startfile but I also read that it only works with Windows. I'm using Mac systems and hoping for it to work with them. Thanks, Aaron

Python has the subprocess module for that, you can read about it here: http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html
In it's simplest form:
subprocess.call(['your_command', 'params'])

You can use os.system("/path/to/myapp").
See http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.system for documentation.
If you want more control over the process being executed, check out the subprocess module instead.

Try using os.system - the docs say it is supported on UNIX and Windows, but since OSX is UNIX-based I would expect it to work on that platform as well.
