Hi, You can try the following
from Tkinter import* root = Tk() root.withdraw() #this will hide the main window import tkFileDialog as tkf f = tkf.Open().show() tkFileDialog, requires a main window to be existing before it can show the file dialog. If there are no main windows then it will create its own.
