Displaying filenames in python tkinter

[Varunkrishna]

I am currently working on a translator project, in which the input will be a text file, that is created in English and I want the same to be translated to German. So I have used askopenfilename to look for files to be selected after selecting the file the name of the file should be displayed in the label button.How do I display the file name within the label button is that possible?

import Tkinter as tk
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
import os
class En2De(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self,master=None):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,master)
        self.grid()
        self.createWidgets()
    def createWidgets(self):
        self.quitButton = tk.Button(self, text='Quit',command=self.quit)
        self.UploadButton = tk.Button(self, text='UPLOAD FILES HERE',command= self.uploadButton)
        self.Label1=tk.Label(self)
        self.Label2 = tk.Label(self,text='Please Select a language:')
        optionlist = ('--Select--','Afrikaans','Albanian','English','French','German','Hindi','Tamil','Telugu')
        self.var=tk.StringVar()
        self.var.set(optionlist[0])
        self.om=tk.OptionMenu(self,self.var,*optionlist)#om=optionmenu
        #self.ConvertButton=tk.button(self, text'Convert Files',command=self.convertButton)
        #Registering it to the window
        self.quitButton.grid(sticky=tk.NE)
        self.UploadButton.grid()
        self.Label1.grid()
        self.Label2.grid()
        self.om.grid()
    def uploadButton(self):
        filename = askopenfilename(filetypes=(("Template Files","*.tplate"),("Portable Document File","*.pdf"),("Text File","*.txt"),("Word Document","*.docx"),("Word 97-2003 Document","*.doc"),("All Files","*.*")))
 
Translater = En2De()
Translater.master.title('A Translater for Translating Documents From English to German')
Translater.mainloop()

There are more that one way. Here's one:

self.Label1.config(text="the_file_name")

@bvdet
Thank you for your help. It is working,but I want only the filename not the full path. And initially it should display 'No files uploaded' in red colour. If the file is updated it must display a file name in some colour(Green). How can I do it any ideas ?

@bdvet
Please refer line no 26.

self.Label1.config(text=filename, fg="blue")

I tried it. Is it the correct way to do ?

[bvdet]

Option fg or foreground specifies the color of the text. Yes, that would be the correct way.

To display the file name only:

>>> import os
>>> path = r"D:\SDS2_7.3B\plugins\SagRod\SagRod.py"
>>> os.path.basename(path)
'SagRod.py'
>>> 

To display an initial message in red:

w = Tkinter.Label(parent, text="No files uploaded", fg="red")

@bdvet
I had tried the following to display the filenames within a label
The first method is to display full path and the filename

self.Label1.config(text=filename, fg="blue")

The second way is to display only the filename

self.Label1.config(text=os.path.basename(filename), fg="blue")

both seems to be working.
