[Tkinter-discuss] how to open a file using os.system in TKINTER

[Ron Provost]

I belive that askopenfile() shows an open file dialog box and once the user 
has selected a file, it opens the file for you and returns the Python file 
object.  All you have to do is read from that file.

If what you want is a dialog box that returns a filename then you should use 
askopenfilename().  You can then use file() or open() to actually open the 
file.
