How can I save a local file using tkinter with filedialog.askopenfilename

Question

How can I treat a file when the client imports a local file as a variable and using it later?


def getFile():
    return filedialog.askopenfilename()

from operation.encryption import getFile
button_encrypt = tk.Button(layoutframe, text="Encrypt", fg="green", command=getFile)

define a File class and make getFile a method.

class File:
    def __init__(self):
        self.filename=None
    def getFile(self):
        self.filename=filedialog.askopenfilename()

file = File()

then command=file.getFile

Now file.filename should contain the return value of askopenfilename
