No problem. to do it without the instance variable, you access its
method directly. so replace:

path = self.fileDialog.getOpenFileName()

with

path = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self)

which is basically the same thing except you're going to the method
directly instead of creating a class instance. The self argument may
or may not be needed, its been a while since ive used Qt.
