Open Python email client with attachment

I am trying to open an email client (like thunderbird) to send an email with an attachment. I tried to open the client with webbrowser.open('mailto:[...]?attachment="path_to_file"')

, but there was no attachment. I also tried to write file://path_to_file

. I have searched the internet for a solution, but there I only found tutorials on how to send emails using SMTP. Do you have an idea?

You can achieve the same result by invoking thunderbird using system commands.

Here is the thread I started. I got a good answer:
