Thanks for paying attention to my question. It was about as far as I
could get. The example below I made (unfortunaly more based on intuition
than understanding) works when called from the command line. However,
when called from inside the Eric5 IDE the dialog returns the results but
hangs. This made me think my solution is incorrect.
Any comments very welcome, cheers!
def open_files(default_dir=None):
"""Returns list of filenames optionally given a default dir"""
from sys import argv
from os import environ
from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QFileDialog
if default_dir == None:
default_dir = environ['HOME']
app = QApplication(argv)
filenames = QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(directory=default_dir)
app.exit()
return list(filenames)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print('open dialog')
lst = open_files()
print('dialog finished')
for fname in lst:
print(fname)
for completeness the TkInter version that does work both from the
commandline and from Eric5:
def open_files(default_dir=None):
"""Returns list of filenames+paths given default dir"""
from os import environ
from Tkinter import Tk
import tkFileDialog
if default_dir == None:
default_dir = environ['HOME']
root = Tk()
root.withdraw() # Hide root window
filenames = tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames(initialdir=default_dir,
multiple=True)
return list(filenames)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print('open dialog')
lst = open_files()
print('dialog finished')
for fname in lst:
print(fname)

Is there for opening a file in a non-qui script a PqQt4 equivalent for
the TkInter based function below?
look for QFileDialog.
