Open and Save Dialogs

wxPython Users

Hi,

I’ve been looking around for a file opener and a file closer dialog. wxPython appears perfect for the job. The demo FileDialog.py includes both. However, the save/open dialogs launch from another screen. What I’d like is for when in my code I do something like:

import save, open
def main():
filename = save.main()
#later…
filename = open.main()

two modules, save and open, will run their corresponding dialogs.

This is my first wxPython project, but I took an attempt at making open and save functions (attachments). They run, but they still launch from the same table. Can anyone help? Thank you very much.

I must be missing something here. Can't you just use one panel with 2
buttons? One button opens a file and the other button save? Or better yet,
create a menubar with Open and Save options and have them launch the
wx.FileDialog methods with the appropriate flags?
