Tkinter has a file acces dialog available with the same API on all platforms.
It is also mapped to the standard dialog on Windows. Since Tkinter is certainly
installed by default with Python, if a file dialog is everything you need, you
probably don't have to look further.
To use the dialog, just do:
from Tkinter import Tk
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
## Tk needs a main window to work, so create one and hide it
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
## Ask the file name
fileName = askopenfilename(filetypes=[('Python files', '*.py'), ('All files',
'*')])
if fileName:
print 'open', fileName
else:
print 'cancelled'
## Over
root.destroy()
