From the module comments:-

$ more /usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/tkFileDialog.py
#
# Instant Python
# $Id: tkFileDialog.py,v 1.4 2001/11/08 17:51:33 loewis Exp $
#
# tk common file dialogues
#
# this module provides interfaces to the native file dialogues
# available in Tk 4.2 and newer, and the directory dialogue available
# in Tk 8.3 and newer.
#
# written by Fredrik Lundh, May 1997.
#

#
# options (all have default values):
#
# - defaultextension: added to filename if not explicitly given
#
# - filetypes: sequence of (label, pattern) tuples.  the same pattern
#   may occur with several patterns.  use "*" as pattern to indicate
#   all files.
#

so for python file types..

filetypes=(('python source', '*.py'), ('compiled python', '*.pyc'))


interactive example.....
