tkFileDialog.askdirectory() allows the selection of a directory. In my code it displays a line of text at the top of the frame ("Please choose a directory, then select OK"). A little below that the current path ("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Python\...") is displayed as a string and immediately below that in a small frame the basename of the path is displayed. In my case the string showing the path is too long and is displayed on two lines, the bottom part of which is obscured by the frame displaying the basename. The title text referred to above can be changed by means of the title option in the function call but there doesn't appear to be an option for the path. Is there some other way the display of the path or the frame displaying the basename could be eliminated or moved slightly?
