Hi,
My python script needs to work with a .txt file in a directory. I
would like to give the user the possibility to choose the file he
needs to work on in as much the same way as I open a .xls file in
Excel, that is, I want to make appear the "Windows'" window and let
the user choose.
I think this should be quite straightforward.
How should I proceed?
At least in Windows one easy way is to delegate that responsibility to the
Windows shell. When a user drags a file onto your script, your script is run
with the path to that dragged file as argument. Or it can even be multiple files.
Otherwise, tkinter has, as I recall, a standard file chooser dialog.
These "standard" dialogs are generally called "common dialogs".
Just google for tkinter and suitable words.
Cheers & hth.,
- Alf
