  46         # with any data to work with, that would be difficult.
  47         #
  48         # The code to do so would be similar to this, assuming 'data' contains
  49         # the data you want to save:
  50         #
  51         # fp = file(path, 'w') # Create file anew

  70 This class provides the file selection dialog. It incorporates OS-native features
  71 depending on the OS in use, and can be used both for open and save operations.
  72 The files displayed can be filtered by setting up a wildcard filter, multiple files
  73 can be selected (open only), and files can be forced in a read-only mode.
  74
  75 There are two ways to get the results back from the dialog. GetFiles() returns only
  76 the file names themselves, in a Python list. GetPaths() returns the full path and
  77 filenames combined as a Python list.
  78
  79 One important thing to note: if you use the file extention filters, then files saved
  80 with the filter set to something will automatically get that extention appended to them
  81 if it is not already there. For example, suppose the dialog was displaying the 'egg'
  82 extention and you entered a file name of 'fried'. It would be saved as 'fried.egg.'
  83 Yum!
