from tkCommonDialog import Dialog
class Chooser(Dialog):
    command = "tk_chooseDirectory"
    def _fixresult(self, widget, result):
        if result:
            self.options["initialdir"] = result
        self.directory = result # compatibility
        return result

def askdirectory(**options):
    return apply(Chooser, (), options).show()
