[pygtk] Win32 file chooser

[John Pye]

Hi all,

Has anyone had any success getting the following example from the FAQ to
run?

http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=show&file=faq21.013.htp

For me, running with Python 2.4 on Win2k, it doesn't work:

> Exception in thread Thread-12:
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "C:\Python24\lib\threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap
>     self.run()
>   File "C:\Python24\lib\threading.py", line 422, in run
>     self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
>   File "examplewinfile.py", line 12, in run_dialog
>     s = winfilechooser._test("This is a dialog", "C:\\WINDOWS")
>   File "g:\ascend\pygtk\interface\winfilechooser.py", line 132, in _test
>     if win32gui.GetOpenFileName(cs1.data):
> TypeError: Argument must be a 88-byte string


Any suggestions?

Cheers
JP
