so let's write one:
#
# tkDirectoryChooser.py
# $Id$
#
# tk common directory dialogue
#
# this module provides interfaces to the native directory dialogue
# available in Tk 8.3 and newer.
#
# written by Fredrik Lundh, November 2000.
#
#
# options (all have default values):
#
# - initialdir: initial directory. preserved by dialog instance.
#
# - mustexist: if true, user must pick an existing directory
#
# - parent: which window to place the dialog on top of
#
# - title: dialog title
#
from tkCommonDialog import Dialog
class Chooser(Dialog):
command = "tk_chooseDirectory"
def _fixresult(self, widget, result):
if result:
# keep directory until next time
self.options["initialdir"] = result
self.directory = result # compatibility
return result
#
# convenience stuff
def askdirectory(**options):
"Ask for a directory name"
return apply(Chooser, (), options).show()
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# test stuff
if __name__ == "__main__":
print "directory", askdirectory()
