There is a FileSelectDialog in Tix that has a dircmd option
according to the Tix documentation.

However, I've played about with it and can't figure out how
to make it work!

There is also allegedly a 'hidden' check-box subwidget
that controls whether hidden files are shown. Again I
couldn't find how to access this.

But maybe some questions on a Tix (or Tk) forum might
get more help? Once you know how to do it in native
Tcl/Tk/Tix you can usually figure out how to do it
in Python.
