def search_for_file_path ():
currdir = os.getcwd()
tempdir = filedialog.askdirectory(parent=root, initialdir=currdir, title='Please select a directory')
if len(tempdir) > 0:
print ("You chose: %s" % tempdir)

how to store the media files into list with extension or path

[baruchba]

Great video. Thank you. I started learning programming in '78 with Fortran IV and moved to Matlab in the late 90s. I used to write everything as generic subroutines and called each subroutine in a program as needed in order to minimize the size of the main file. Can this be done with Python? For example, writing a program for the menu bar, a program for a calculator, a program for a graphing, and then calling each program in a main program. Is this possible?
