How to select a folder with native windows dialog box?

[flaus.a]

I found the win32ui.CreateFileDialog() function to select a file but
nothing to select a folder :'-(
Maybe someone has a solution for this?
Thanks!

You can use SHBrowseForFolder:

from win32com.shell import shell
shell.SHBrowseForFolder()

Thanks for your answer, it's working fine!

For information, the function to use to get the pathName is
shell.SHGetPathFromIDList
It returns an error if you select a special folder (!?!?) but otherwise
it's working fine... And I was unable to fix this issue.

SHGetPathFromIDList only works for real filesystem folders.
Pseudo-folders like Control Panel or Network Connections
throw an error. You can use PyIShellFolder.BindToObject
to get an interface to perform operations on these.
