first you need to know what media player you want to use, then the video full name and location.
windows has a "start" command embedded in command line, python can use this with the os.system command
import os
os.system("start " + program + var)if you wanted to open a video using vlc the command would beimport os
os.system("start 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC'\vlc.exe' " + video)

Did you want a Python script to open everytime you open a video? I'm not sure that it's clear what you are trying to do. What media player will be used? What exactly did you want the script to do?
RE: Python script that transfer it self - AceScottie - Nov-13-2017
to run a python script you will need a secon python scrip to check when the program is launched.
taken from stack exchange:
def running():
n=0# number of instances of the program running
prog=[line.split() for line in subprocess.check_output("tasklist").splitlines()]
[prog.pop(e) for e in [0,1,2]] #useless
for task in prog:
if task[0]=="vlc.exe":
n=n+1
if n>0:
return True
else:
return False
