How to use the OS's native file selector in Tkinter

[copx]

Hi,

I would like to use the native file selector of the "host OS" for the "Open
File" function of my Python/Tkinter app. Could anyone tell me how to do
this?
My primary target platform is Windows. So a Windows-only solution would be
ok (IIRC Linux doesn't even have a "native file selector").

tkFileDialog.Open is a wrapper around tk's tk_getOpenFile.

tk_getOpenFile uses the native dialog on Windows, via the GetOpenFileName()
win32 API call, at least in Tk versions 8.2 and newer.
