Thanks for leaving errors in your videos so we can see you calmly identify and fix them. Great to see some humility but most importantly teaching that errors are just part of development work and can be easily fixed.

You have the best channel on the internet. The way you teach is unprecedented the scope of these projects make students want to learn the boring theory in textbooks because its being applied in real time w/ real world application. Thank you.

Thanks John! I've been learning A LOT from your videos from scratch! I'm not a programmer, just curious and trying to apply something to my job! Thanks for your dedication!!
I'll put an issue here that I had to troubleshoot, in case it happens to another one. When using this, I had this error: codecs.charmap_decode(input, self.errors, decoding_table)[0] and something about an encoding error - I finally solved it by putting a second code line (right after getting root.filename), and put: root.filename = root.filename.name - then it just took the location, but not the encoding option
Thanks again!

I had no idea about filedialogs before this video, WOW. I have just been manually iterating through folders this entire time :( best video by far.

great tutorial! One question, if i want to open a csv file, how can i keep it in a variable so i can use it in different functions?

[fernandohood]

What about trying to return a list of files in a directory location?

[PersonSnowboarding]

I'm at the 6:00 mark, the all files "*.*" doesn't seem to work as the option is faded out in the popup. It only lets me interact with folder and files types I have explicitly typed in to include

sir, your channel is really underrated compared to your content. Your channel should have a more than a million subs

Sir I added a file dialogue on a top-level but it does not show on the top but file dialogue shows under the top-level how can I fix this sir

[AcTheMace]

Thanks for this tutorial, I have just one question:
I with there was a way to remove the "All Files" portion of the code and still have it run so that you can restrict what type of files a user is allowed to select.
If there is a solution to this, please tell me, Thanks!

[yashdeore]

Brilliant again.
Nothing shocks me now

[Refnom]

Thanks for the great videos! Would be very grateful if you could answer a quick question?

What is the reason for assigning the file path string to 'root.filename'? From what I understand, this creates a new attribute called 'filename' for the 'root' object. What is the advantage of doing this instead of just assigning it to a normal variable (ie. just 'filename')?

[funnyclips]

Excellent...! pls can this be done using grid() method ?

[gustavooliveira-mcnb]

I dont know if you willl read this but anyways
why the variable that receives the return of filedialog.... is root.file name?
i dont get it, why cant i use any other name for it?
Thanks for your attention
