Many commertial apps have options to run apps at logins... Is there any cross-platform way to do so in python or other languages?

Extremely trivial? Init stuff probably shouldn't be touched by random user app, systemd cannot always be assumed, login shell can probably do this but syntax will vary by shell, and the only other I can think of is WM dépendent (although I assume the big ones will agree on using desktop files, i3 for example does not, and location might vary there too).

It's not difficult but to handle this generically requires some work to handle various scenarios.
