I give up -- I'll just use the file dialog box built-in to RL's Python (not exactly what I had in mind but it will do for now).

No, that doesn't work (tried that as well earlier -- sorry, but I didn't outline all the things I tried which didn't work).  For one thing, you have to import that dialog function from *somewhere* (you'll get an error if you just

import tkFileDialog

So you could try:

from tkinter import *
or
from tkinter import tkFileDialog

but the second is redundant (and doesn't work anyway).

Someone MUST have done this already, right?

Hi Mike

I think you just need to add

import tkFileDialog

Chris.

So I'm just now getting back to programming (sigh -- and my brain is fried) and for the life of me I can't get a simple file dialog box to work as it works in Blender.  Anyone had any luck?

It shouldn't be rocket science:
file_path = tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilename()
file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename()

(neither works although they both work in Blender).
