Python: JFileChooser for Python?

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.

Thanks for your help :)

From stackoverflow

• That would depend on your windowing toolkit. wxWidgets provides the wxFileDialog.

  Casey : Thanks Hank, I'll look into it. :)

• 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).

  Casey : Thanks WAyne. Think Hank beat ya to it ;)

• Maybe you would like to take a look at Jython.

• 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 ...
  

  Casey : looks good. thanks for the tip ;)

• For something that doesn't require wxPython and sticks with the standard Python libs, you can use the tkFileDialog.askopenfilename() method:

  #!/usr/bin/python
  
  from Tkinter import *
  from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
  
  root = Tk()
  root.withdraw()
  print askopenfilename()
  

  Ali A : +1 for an actual example
