How to use tkinter filedialog without a window

Question

I would like to use the dialog boxes and message boxes without opening a tkinter window.

Can someone teach me how to disable the window, or how to recreate the window, or show me a different solution which allows me to do such things.

The messageboxes are the same all around, the one I want to try to take advantage of the most is filedialog.askopenfile, filedialog.askdirectory, filedialog.asksaveasfilename.

Answer 1

Something like this?

from Tkinter import *
import tkFileDialog
import tkMessageBox

Tk().withdraw()
tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
tkMessageBox.showerror("message", "words")
