I'm using Windows XP with Python 2.7.2 & Tkinter GUI kit. I want to build a simple GUI that has a text field and "Browse" button that will select a file through directories such as C:\ (Just like Windows Explorer). That file selected will be displayed in the text field in the GUI. Hope this is descriptive enough.

I have something else that might help you:
## {{{ http://code.activestate.com/recipes/438123/ (r1)
# ======== Select a directory:
import Tkinter, tkFileDialog
root = Tkinter.Tk()
dirname = tkFileDialog.askdirectory(parent=root,initialdir="/",title='Please select a directory')
if len(dirname ) > 0:
print "You chose %s" % dirname
# ======== Select a file for opening:
import Tkinter,tkFileDialog
root = Tkinter.Tk()
file = tkFileDialog.askopenfile(parent=root,mode='rb',title='Choose a file')
if file != None:
data = file.read()
file.close()
print "I got %d bytes from this file." % len(data)
# ======== "Save as" dialog:
import Tkinter,tkFileDialog
myFormats = [
('Windows Bitmap','*.bmp'),
('Portable Network Graphics','*.png'),
('JPEG / JFIF','*.jpg'),
('CompuServer GIF','*.gif'),
]
root = Tkinter.Tk()
fileName = tkFileDialog.asksaveasfilename(parent=root,filetypes=myFormats ,title="Save the image as...")
if len(fileName ) > 0:
print "Now saving under %s" % nomFichier

Have a look at this (untested): http://www.java2s.com/Code/Python/GUI-Tk/SimpleEditor.htm You may just need to add the 'open' dialog but using the Tkinter documentation that should be easy.

I suggest that you do not use tkinter but that you use wxwindows. I have used both before with different level of success (I was just messing around with the basics). If you do decide to use wxwindows here is a website that is really useful: http://www.wxpython.org/onlinedocs.php
