I have a tool in Python to which I want to add a small GUI. The tools
currently runs everywhere PySerial is supported. I need a file-access
dialog. What is the preffered way to to this? Is there a
platform-independent file-access dialog available, or should I use the
windows native version when running on windows (and how do I do that)?

Tkinter has a file acces dialog available with the same API on all platforms. It is also mapped to the standard dialog on Windows. Since Tkinter is certainly installed by default with Python, if a file dialog is everything you need, you probably don't have to look further.
To use the dialog, just do:
from Tkinter import Tk
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
## Tk needs a main window to work, so create one and hide it
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
## Ask the file name
fileName = askopenfilename (filetypes=[('Python files', '*.py'), ('All files', '*')])
if fileName:
print 'open', fileName
else:
print 'cancelled'
## Over
root.destroy()

depends on what GUI toolkit you prefer to use.
for Tkinter (which is available on most modern platforms), see "File
Dialogs" on this page: http://www.pythonware.com/library/tk...data-entry.htm

Hey,
I'm currently trying to find a way to open a dialog box that will allow
me to select more than one file at a time, so if I want to upload
select all the files in a directory, I won't have to have the number of
dialog boxes as files in the directory. I was thinking of using a
ActiveX control, but I don't want to make the sure download additional
components to be able to do this, so is there maybe some sort of
Windows ActiveX control...

Thank you for all your previous answers. My new question is as follows: how

Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file.

I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.
