Open File Button - Python Tkinter

I am having a problem where I cannot link my open Button to the "open" command, help please!

Error= fileName = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
NameError: global name 'tkFileDialog' is not defined

What I have:

from Tkinter import *
from tkFileDialog   import askopenfilename

frm = Frame(parent)
frm.pack(fill=X)
Button(frm, text=' Browse  ',   command=self.getFileName).pack(side=LEFT)

def getFileName(self):
    fileName = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
    iconEntry.insert(0, fileName)

SimpleEditor().mainloop()

instead of usingfrom tkFileDialog import askopenfilename

useimport Tkinter.Filedialog as tkFiledialog

yeah. Since you are already doing "tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()", you don't need to do this "from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename"

Simply, import tkFileDialog will do.

rather than 

from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename

you probably just want 

import tkFileDialog
