Summary: tkFileDialog.Open is broken

Initial Comment:
tkFileDialog.Open is broken, apparently due to the new object interface.

Try the following:
>>> import Tkinter
>>> import tkFileDialog
>>> root = Tkinter.Tk()
>>> tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/tkFileDialog.py", line 119, in askopenfilename
    return Open(**options).show()
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/tkCommonDialog.py", line 54, in show
    s = self._fixresult(w, s)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/tkFileDialog.py", line 89, in _fixresult
    if not widget.tk.wantobjects() and "multiple" in self.options:
TypeError: wantobjects() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
>>> 

Looking at the code, tkFileDialog.Open _fixresult is calling widget.tk.wantobjects() and apparently that function always wants an argument (though one would not necessarily think so from the function name, so the bug is not surprising).

What version of Python are you using?  I just looked at the
code for 2.3.2 and tested it.  2.3.2 works fine.  Perhaps
this bug has already been fixed?
