I doubt it. The Python *documentation*, whose first two lines ("2.7
EasyDialogs -- Basic Macintosh dialogs", "Availability: Macintosh.) are
easily ignored, does contain this:
AskFileForOpen( [message] [, typeList] [, defaultLocation] [,
defaultOptionFlags] etc etc.
But you are running on Windows, and to get as far as you did, you must
have downloaded Jimmy Retzlaff's 3rd party not quite-compatible subset
EasyDialogs module.
Then if you use the Python *help*, you get:
C:\junk>python
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> help(EasyDialogs.AskFileForOpen)
Help on function AskFileForOpen in module EasyDialogs:
AskFileForOpen(message=None, typeList=None, version=None,
defaultLocation=None,
dialogOptionFlags=None, location=None, clientName=None,

then I tried this

If it's any consolation, you're not the first to get trapped like this :-)

Here's a handy tip: when a function has keyword arguments, use the
keywords -- not only does it save you counting args, it helps document
your code.
Here's a (slightly edited) example from one of my scripts:
import EasyDialogs
infname = EasyDialogs.AskFileForOpen(
windowTitle='Fu or Bar file from XYZ',
typeList=[
('All files (*.*)', '*.*'),
],
defaultLocation=r'G:\XYZfiles\FuBar',
# message='... a message',
)
Cheers,
John
