Are you _sure_ it says startfile not implemented? Or does
it say this:
>>> os.startfile("foo.bar")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'startfile'

Google tells me that Okular is something for KDE. That implies
that you're running Linux or Unix? [When asking a question, you
also need to provide OS, Python version, etc.]
If you are running Linux/Unix, then I suspect the answer to
your problem can be seen in the fine documentation at
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#process-management
os.startfile(path[, operation])
Start a file with its associated application.
[...]
Availability: Windows.
If you want to do something similar on Unix/Linux, you'll
probably need to call some desktop-specific.
Googling for python+startfile+linux found me these links:
