If you have errors about bad file type - use the following construction: filetypes=[("Text files", "*.txt"), ("Rulename", "file_extension")]

what I like most is that you put the snippet code just in the description, thanks!

// a better easy solution to open file from dialog and close it after choosing the file:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename

root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
file_path = askopenfilename()
root.destroy()

I'm about 2 hours in to my Python learning.
I removed all the button stuff, and just did openFile() instead.
