Your terminology is a bit confusing. os.system(lowercase) is for executing system commands. Do you want to execute a file as a command? Do you want to pass a file to a command? In either case executing os.system requires a command string, and the askopenfile dialog returns you a filename as a string. So what is the problem that you are experiencing? Can you show us what you have tried and explain what you want to happen. Also be aware that os.system does not give you access to the output of the executed command, for that you need to use the subprocess module. > i have already created the file open dilog using > tkFileDialog.askopenfile(parent=root,mode='rb',title='choose a > file') > Now i want to open a file from this dialog using OS.SYSTEM You can execute a file but you cannot "open" it in any meaningful (to Python) sense.
