using tkinter from the command prompt window

[mcfly]

I can apply my python code using import tkinter within the python shell and it works perfectly (i open some file using tkinter). however, when i try to run the file.py from the command prompt window:
i get an attribute error 'module' object has no attribute 'filedialog'

however, as stated before, the filedialog works when i run the code within the python shell....any suggestions?

Try importing filedialog like this:

import tkinter.filedialog
