You know that file dialog window that some applications open? Yes, that one that's used to browse through files and choose one... Well, here's how you do it in Python.

Python 2:

Code:

import Tkinter import tkFileDialog # hide the parent window root = Tkinter.Tk() root.withdraw() filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()

Spoiler:

There are also other tkFileDialog methods that can do things like directly open a file or choose a directory.

Python 3:

Code:

from tkinter import filedialog import tkinter # hide the parent window root = tkinter.Tk() root.withdraw() filename = filedialog.askopenfilename()

Spoiler:

The methods used for tkinter.filedialog are probably the same as used by Python 2's tkFileDialog.

Just a quick thing I thought I'd share.
