    self.dlg.pasta_saida.setText(filename_2)

however I would like to choose the folder to save the file inside how would you look?

Answer 1

If you want to choose the location where the file will be saved you can use the method asksaveasfile module tkFileDielog, simply import the necessary libraries from the TKinter.

Here is an example for you:

import Tkinter, tkFileDialog

def salvaarquivo(texto):
    f = tkFileDialog.asksaveasfile(mode="w", )#A foi opcao definida para escrita.
    if f is None:
        return
    f.write(texto)
    f.close()

salvaarquivo(raw_input("Digite um texto para ser salvo:"))

Note: In case you don’t have the TKinter installed on your machine, you can download it and urge it following the instructions of the website of TKinter.

Answer 2

You can try the following :

import TkInter, tkFileDialog
root = Tkinter.Tk()
dirNome = tkFileDialog.askdirectory(parent=root, initialdir="/",title ='Selecione a pasta')
