Widget that displays a directory tree?

[Edward C. Jones]

Do any of the Python GUIs have a super-high-level widget that displays a
directory tree? Most file managers or editors have this type of window.

Look at the wxPython Demo:

There is the GenericDirCtrl and (especially for Windows)
the GenericWinDirCtrl.

Screenshots of both at:

Do any of the Python GUIs have a super-high-level widget that displays a
directory tree? Most file managers or editors have this type of window.

Below is the dirview.py example from the soon-to-be-released PyQt4. Snapshots
are available, including a GPL binary package for Windows for use with the
GPL version of Qt.

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

model = QtGui.QDirModel()
tree = QtGui.QTreeView()
tree.setModel(model)

tree.setWindowTitle(tree.tr("Dir View"))
tree.resize(640, 480)
tree.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

If you have idle installed, you can check the PathBrowser.py file in your
idlelib directory. (Run idle; click File -> Path Browser to see it in
action, and click File -> Open Module -> PathBrowser -> OK to see/edit the
source).

in what way?

the instructions you didn't read told you to run idle, and select the
browser via the menu system to see it in action.

Yes, you are right. The section
def main():
import PyShell
PathBrowser(PyShell.flist)
if sys.stdin is sys.__stdin__:
mainloop()
in PathBrowser.py suggested (apparent falsely), that it should run also
standalone - that was my problem.
Thank you.
