Try using Tix, a Tkinter extension included in the Python library. It
provides a DirList widget:

<code>
import Tix

class App:

    def __init__(self, master):

        frame = Tix.Frame(master)
        frame.pack()

        dirlist = Tix.DirList(frame, value=r"f:\download\temp",
            command=self.showdir)
        dirlist.pack(fill="x")

        button = Tix.Button(frame, text="Close",
            command=frame.quit)
        button.pack()

    def showdir(self, directory):
        print "user selected", directory

root = Tix.Tk()
app = App(root)
root.mainloop()
</code>
