user interface - How do I use a GUI to open a directory in Python 3?

Question

I want to find the string value of the directory in Python where a few files are located. Then, I plan on using os.listdir to continue on with the script. I've tried using tkFileDialog to use askdirectory, but not luck.

Answer 1

tkFileDialog changed with Python 3.x, it's now tkinter.filedialog, a module of tkinter

Here's how to import it:

from tkinter.filedialog import askdirectory

folder = askdirectory()
