But, aha, it works for Python3.5 I wrote this minimal program, to see what needed doing to solve the OP's problem, and, surprise, it solves it right out of the box.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from tkinter import * import tkinter.tix as tix root = tix.Tk() def print_selected(args): print('selected dir:', args) def pathSelect(): d = tix.ExFileSelectDialog(master=root, command=print_selected) d.popup() button = Button(root, text="dialog", command=pathSelect) button.pack() root.mainloop() ------------------- shows my .files or not depending on whether I check the checkbox.
