What happens if you change your KDE theme, or use another desktop
environment?

“Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure
enough, things got worse.

yes, I can make the labels turn black by selecting them with the arrow keys.

Never seen that. This dialog is implemented in Tcl under X11, so maybe 
somebody from over there can help. I can imagine that it is a strange 
setting for colours in the option database. In your screenshot, I can 
see the file names in a very bright grey colour. bin, probably selected, 
is black. If you use the arrow keys to navigate the files, does it 
"highlight" the current item in black?


Best regards,

Christian

 How would I print the directory path?

print self.file

Your forgot the self. in your version. Without it, Python assumes
you're talking about built-in `file` type.

try doing:

self.filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(title = 'this is a
message',initialdir='./' )

and see what happens

Perhaps you meant:

self.file = tkFileDialog.askdirectory(title=Please select your 
directory)

print self.file
