Cannot copy the filename browsed into the main program. Where can i write my main function where i have to write my piece of code. Exactly where?

Question

I am new to trying this TKinter . I have to browse files and folders. What i need is to get the pathname of the files and folders i have browsed. i Am not not able to understand where to put my piece of code in this script? . How can i do it? or should i write a seperate . Am stuck in here. I browsed through stack overflow many have problem of getting filenames returned back to their program s with no proper solution. Can anyone help me on this?Advance thanks.

You have to work out the code yourself. But what I'll do is provide you a way how to format your code & how to implement the problem you are having.

import tkFileDialog
from Tkinter import Tk,Button,StringVar,Entry

class MainClass():

    def __init__(self,master):
        self.parent=master
        self.mainfunc()

    def mainfunc(self):
            self.path_setup = StringVar()
            browse=Button(root,text="Browse",command=lambda:self.path_setup.set(tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=[("Image File",'.jpg')])))
            browse.grid(row=1,column=1,sticky='E')

            path_entry = Entry(root, textvariable=self.path_setup,state='disabled')
            path_entry.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky='E')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    root = Tk()
    root.title("My Program")
    root.wm_resizable(0,0)
    client = MainClass(root)
    root.mainloop()

It's a "piece" of code which I was working on. I have formatted it for you.

Hope this gets you going :)
