Try using Tix, a Tkinter extension included in the Python library. It
provides a DirList widget:

<code>
import Tix

class App:

def __init__(self, master):

frame = Tix.Frame(master)
frame.pack()

dirlist = Tix.DirList(frame, value=r"f:\download\temp",
command=self.showdir)
dirlist.pack(fill="x")

button = Tix.Button(frame, text="Close",
command=frame.quit)
button.pack()

def showdir(self, directory):
print "user selected", directory

root = Tix.Tk()
app = App(root)
root.mainloop()
</code>
