when i try
os.system("open " + 'myfile.xlsx')
i get the output '0'
similarly, trying
os.system("start excel.exe myfilepath")
gives the result 32512
I have imported os and system, and I'm on mac. How can I change this so it does actually launch that excel file? And out of curiosity, what do the numbers it prints out mean?
Thanks!

If you only want to open the excel application you could use subprocess:
import subprocess
subprocess.check_call(['open', '-a', 'Microsoft Excel'])
You can also use os and open a specific file:
import os
os.system("open -a 'path/Microsoft Excel.app' 'path/file.xlsx'")
If you on other hand want to open an excel file within python and modify it there's a number of packages to use as xlsxwriter, xlutils and openpyxl where the latter is prefered by me.
Another note, if you're on mac the excel application isn't .exe
