Hi Folks, I want to use a Button to trigger askopenfilename() dialog, then I can select a file. My short code is below:
def select_file(): filenam = askopenfilename(title='Get the file:') return filenam root = Tk() Button(root, text='Select a file', command=select_file).pack() root.mainloop() My goal is to get the path of filenam, but the function select_file() has nowhere to return what it selected. Can anybody help me out? I consulted the book of Programming Python, but found no demo in this regard. If the function has no return, command=blabla will work nicely. I am lost in the scope. Thanks!
