You don't need to write an interface just use the standard one. Of course if you want to display the result/output in a GUI then you neeed to do some work. But if you are happy with a console interace, or a silent application, then its just a case of using the common dialogs: >>> import Tkinter as tk>>> import tkFileDialog as fd>>> t = >>> tk.Tk()>>> t.withdraw() # hides the Tk root window''>>> d = >>> fd.askdirectory() # display the dir dialog>>> print >>> dD:/Development>>> dir(fd)['Dialog', 'Directory', 'Open', >>> 'SaveAs', '_Dialog', '__builtins__', '__doc__','__file__', >>> '__name__', 'askdirectory', 'askopenfile', 'askopenfilename', >>> 'askoenfilenames', 'askopenfiles', 'asksaveasfile', >>> 'asksaveasfilename']>>>As you see there are a number of other >>> dialogs too.
