Python open email client with attachment

I'm trying to open a email-client (eg thunderbird) to send an email with an attachment. I have 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 in the web for a solution, but there I only found tutorials how to send emails with SMTP. Do you have an idea?

You can achieve the same result by calling thunderbird via system commands.

Here is a thread that I started. I got a good reply:
