Comment #17 on issue 872 by shamrin: remove dependency on pexpect and add  
support for Mathtex
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=872

Vinzent, I'm sorry... I haven't noticed it's Windows-only. There's a Python  
bug:
"implement os.startfile on posix and MacOSX" [1]. In the discussion they  
mention
"xdg-open" in Linux and "open" in MacOS. There's also a small patch[2].

So I suggest dropping current hard-coded viewer search logic and still use
os.startfile for Windows. For other systems provide your own startfile  
implementation
(using "xdg-open" and "open").

Well, if I am not mistaken, '&' doesn't work. Some googling gave me this:

> start "window1" /min cmd.exe /c some_command_or_executable

Why do you need a background process?
