How can the the file chooser allow the user to select any files and
folders at the same time?  gtk.FileChooser.set_action() indicates
files and folders are mutually exclusive

http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkfilechooser.html#method-gtkfilechooser--set-action

This code only allows the user to select folders

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pygtk
import gtk

dialog = gtk.FileChooserDialog("Open file or folder",
	None,
	gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN |  gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER)
response = dialog.run()
dialog.destroy()
