Tkinter FileDialog

[Godson Gera]

Hi,

You can try the following

from Tkinter import*
root = Tk()
root.withdraw() #this will hide the main window
import tkFileDialog as tkf
f = tkf.Open().show()

tkFileDialog, requires a main window to be existing before it can show the
file dialog. If there are no main windows then it will create its own.
