That is the correct way to do it. I don't think that is the real code you're
running, because `request` is clearly not a unicode object in the line
beginning with `filename`, and yet it is one line later.
The full traceback would help, as would the actual code.
I don't know what you mean by "a submit button to open a select dialog".
