Is there a way to upload files with tkinter in python 3.7?

Question

So I am making a system to upload file for an AI project, so it will be both text files and image files. Is there a way to select files by dragging and dropping into a tkinter window, like how you can in GitHub? And is there a way to open a file browser window to select the files?

Yes. You can open a file browser window to select the files.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog

def getLocalFile():
    root=tk.Tk()
    root.withdraw()

    filePath=filedialog.askopenfilename()

    print('File path：',filePath)
    return filePath

if __name__ == '__main__':
    getLocalFile()

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I meant when I said open a file browser window! – TheFlyingTechie Feb 10 '21 at 03:00
Is there a way to upload multiple files at once? – TheFlyingTechie Feb 10 '21 at 03:08
Yeah, cur=filedialog.askopenfilenames(filetypes=[('text files', '.txt'),('pythonfiles',('.py','.pyw'))]) – Himpq Feb 10 '21 at 13:29
It's will return a tuple. The contents of tuple is file paths. – Himpq Feb 10 '21 at 13:30
