The python-dev mailing list is about the development of Python, not
the development with Python.

Please send this kind of questions to the comp.lang.python newsgroup,
or the wxPython-users mailing list.
There are many python users there willing to help.

Furthermore wxPython is not developed here (or is it PythonCard?), so
you'll get little expertise from us.

(a hint however: "result.paths" likely returns a list of paths; try
"result.paths[0]" to get a file name)
