title: How to open a file on mac OSX 10.8.2 in python
body: <p>I am writing a python code on eclipse and want to open a file that is present in Downloads folder. I am using MAC OSX 10.8.2. I tried with <code>f=os.path.expanduser("~/Downloads/DeletingDocs.txt")</code> 
  and also with </p>
  
  <pre><code>ss=subprocess.Popen("~/Downloads/DeletingDocs.txt",shell=True)
  ss.communicate()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I basically want to open a file in subprocess, to listen to the changes in the opened file.But, the file is not opening in either case.</p>
