Running docal-tkinter on Ubuntu #2

Hello,

Tried to run docal-tkinter on Ubuntu and faced an issue:

ImportError: cannot import name 'startfile' from 'os' (/usr/lib/python3.7/os.py)

Checked in source code and found, the startfile can be used in windows only:

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    def startfile(path: AnyPath, operation: Optional[str] = ...) -> None: ...

My traceback is below:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    "__main__", mod_spec)

Yes, startfile is a windows only function. I was working only on windows and didn't have a linux machine. I would appreciate a cross platform way of opening a file, as if you double clicked it from your file explorer.
