JFileChooser for Python?

Question

I was wondering if there is something similar to Java's JFileChooser for Python?

JFileChooser is a graphical front end to choose a file.

Preferably something that is already with Python. Maybe with Tkinter.

Answer 1

wxPython (www.wxpython.org) provides the wx.FileDialog class which will give you a native file selection dialog on any of the supported platforms (Mac, Linux or Windows).

Answer 2

Easiest way I ever found to do this (using PyGTK and Kiwi):

from kiwi.ui.dialogs import open as open_dialog

chosen_path = open_dialog('Select a file', folder='/start/folder')

if chosen_path is not None:
    # do something ...
