I have the current Windows binary install of Python 2.3.4 on my
Windows XP system.
I am pained to discover that tkFileDialog.as kdirectory() returns a
mangled path when a directory is selected which has non-ascii Unicode
path, as in Kanji characters, i.e. the usull "????" in place of the
original UTF-8 code points. .
After some time spent Google'ing. I don't find a discussion of this.
Is there some option or configuration change I can make to fix this?
I can roll my own file-dialog , but I prefer to re-use code.

Is this the sort of thing you want?
dirobj = tkFileDialog.as kdirectory()
if not dirobj:
# user Cancelled; works whether the return is '' or ()
return
# dirobj may be a string or a Tk_Obj
dirname = unicode(dirobj)
The same code should work for askopenfilename .
HTH
Thank your for your response. I did see your
e-mail when googl'ing for similar issues.
However, the problem you had was that the the
object returned on cancelling is different
bertween Linux and Windows.
My problem is that when you do select a directory
with the tkFileDialog.as kdirectory() , on
Windows the object returned is a byte string,
with the non-ascii characters converted to '?".
Applying the 'unicode" function to this cannot
restore the lost data.
The particular path i am struggling with a a
parent directory with the utf-8 name:
"\343\201\246\3 43\201\231\343\ 201\250\343\203 \225\343\202\25 1\343\203\253\3 43\202\277\343\ 202\231"

>>> dirobj = tkFileDialog.as kdirectory()
if not dirobj:
# user Cancelled; works whether the return is '' or ()
return
# dirobj may be a string or a Tk_Obj

The same code should work for askopenfilename .

I just installed Python 2.3 on my Redhat system. When I tried to run
one of my programs that use tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(), I got an
error because it returns a tuple instead of a null string when I
select Cancel.

Hi,
I'm having trouble with the code below.
It's just a regular Tk text widget in which you can type and
select text as expected, however the call to tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
seems to screw things up. After the file dialog, I can no longer use
the Text widget (typing, selecting, it doesn't work anymore!)
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,

Hi all,
I'm using teh tkFileDialog to let teh user select a directory. We have
long names which make
it difficult to view the directories.
For some reason the GUI windows doesn;t expand on Windows like it does
on OS X or Linux.
Is there a method to make the widths of the tkFileDialog windows larger
when using Windows XP?

Hello all! I have a problem concerning tkFileDialog. When I use the the askopenfilename command to open a text file it opens a tkinter window (apart from the file browsing window) which refuses to close once I've selected and opened the file. It just stays there and when clicked on says not responding.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
