title: Python "show in finder"
body: <p>How can I launch a new Finder window (or Explorer on Win) from python in a specific folder. The behaviour I'm looking for is the equivalent of "Show in finder" link in a tracks context menu in iTunes or most other programs come to think of it.</p>
  
  <p>What I have currently is a UI built with PyQt and I'd like to add a menu option like "show log folder" or something similar, which would pop up a new finder window.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>From <em>katrielalex</em> advice trying <code>subprocess.Popen("/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app")</code> throws and <code>OSError: Permission denied</code>. Trying to launch the Finder.app by double clicking it says that it is in use by OS X and cannot be opened.</p>
  
  <p>Surely there must be a way to open a new Finder window.</p>
