Newbie: fileselector dialog box

[Ivan Gustin]

Hi,

I'm new to Pyhton, but experienced programmer in other languages.

I need to create one small program and I choosed Python for that, so I
am asking for help. I am not expecting to get full code solotion, just
directions will be fine. I have 'Practical Python' (very little about
GUI scripts), and googled for ideas, but can't make proper decision as
fast as I need.

I need just to create GUI file selector dialog box, so user can choose
existing or new file new in any directory. Program must return choosed
fullpath filename (to the parent shell script).

Please, tell me:

1) Which GUI toolkit is optimal (Tkinter, wxPython...)? Primary end-user
platform will be Linux & KDE.

2) Is there already some library function for fileselector in choosed
GUI toolkit?

3) Is there any archive with python snippets, libs. etc, like CPAN?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Grant Edwards:

PyQt would then seem to be the obvious choice

Thaks, I'll search in that direction.
