I am trying to implement (in Python) something like a browser's "File/Open..." or "Select to upload" functionality:
that is, - with help of a system dialog (specifically Finder on MAC), - browse to a file / a folder, select it, press a button and get the file/folder name (path) back into my cgi script. Or into any script / python function.
I was hoping that something as simple as using a subprocess with /usr/bin/open should do the job.
However, if I invoke /usr/bin/open, it only ~shows~ the contents of the file system, there is no button to "select and return back the path".
So how do they (Google, Mozilla, Smugmug...) do it? Am I asking for too much?
Thank you! (Sorry if this question looks ridiculous, but strangely enough Google search did not help).
