John Withers, chase cobb,

i saw someone ask this so here it is. its so simple its really not 
worth typing, but you have to start somewhere


import os

x = raw_input("Enter your Directory")

print x

Since this is in the Tk area, it is highly unlikely this is what was
intended. While technically correct, I suspect what the supplicant
actually wanted was:

from tkFileDialog import *
dir = askdirectory()
print dir


Note this will only work with Tk 8.3+ and I have read that it won't work
prior to Py 2.2, but I don't know that for sure, since I have just had
cause to use it recently and didn't use it with earlier versions.
