Browse for folder gui

[Crazywu]

I have completed a script which opens various txt files within a folder path and does calculations on them, currently being set for example:

path = "./folderfileshere"

is there a simple solution to grab a folder path using a gui function similar to that of the browse for folder function in .net

this will than set the path to what the user has chosen

something like this

You can use the tkFileDialog module
http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/stdlib/tkFileDialog-module.html
Example :

# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
import tkFileDialog
from Tkinter import *

class openDialog(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        self.root=master
        self.createWidgets()

    def createWidgets(self):
        """ Create widgets
        """
        self.fFrame = Frame(self.root)

        self.svDir = StringVar()
        self.eDir  = Entry(self.fFrame, width=70, textvariable=self.svDir)
        self.eDir.pack()

        self.bSelDir = Button(self.fFrame, text="askdir")
        self.bSelDir["command"] =  self.getDir
        self.bSelDir.pack()

        self.fFrame.pack()

    def getDir(self):
        self.dir=tkFileDialog.askdirectory()
        self.svDir.set(self.dir)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    root=Tk()
    od = openDialog(root)
    root.mainloop()

wxpython is exactly what you need. It looks native in the platform take a look at wxpython.org for docs and API plus zetcode.com for tutorial
