tkFileDialog.Open to select a large number of files

Hi. I've noticed that when i select a large number of files (> 400)
using tkFileDialog.Open i get an empty list. Does anyone knows the
limits of that interface regarding the maximum number of files that can
be selected, or the maximum length of the resulting list? Does anyone
have any work around?

thx.

alex.
