I don't foresee an issue here. Like Christian said, give the
tkFileDialog a spin.

The "capturing" part has nothing to do with GUI's, and the
code should map "almost unchanged" from your command-line 
code.

Maybe, but i would not know. I think instead of expecting
that a script in the wild might be a one-to-one mapping of
your current problem, you should break the many problems
within this script into distinct areas of research.  But
first you should research the following prerequisites:

  1. How to: create a blank Tkinter window?
     Hint: tk.Tk()

  2. How to: place "N" input fields on a Tkinter window?
     Hint: tk.Entry(...)

  3. How to: dynamically create "N" input fields on demand?
     Hint: "for" he's a jolly good fellow!

  4. How to: customize and/or restrict the input of an input field?
     Hint: "widget.bind("<SEQUENCE_STRING>", func)"

  5. How to: "validate" a group of input fields?
     Hint: "for" he's a jolly good fellow!

  6. How to: allow the user to locate a file (local or otherwise?)
     Hint: "import tkFileDialog"

I think you'll catch more informative answers if you
restrict the problem domain a bit.
