How to get path withTkinter filedialog?

I need to get the selected path within a Filedialog tkinter but I do not know how to because when choosing the path directly in the graphical window save as there is no way to extract the path to store it in a variable

from tkinter import filedialog
open_f = filedialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', defaultextension='.txt')
path_f =

As you can see I need to store the route obtained in open_f within the variable path_f .. but open_f only returns a _io.textiowrapper..

How do you get the path in a filedialog?

out = filedialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', defaultextension=".xlsx")
out.close()

restr = str(out)
    
RegexPrep = restr.replace("'w'", '')
outRegex = re.findall(r"'(.*?)'", RegexPrep)
ToExcelRegex = str(outRegex)
    
MorePrep = ToExcelRegex.replace("[",'')
MorePrep = MorePrep.replace("]",'')
MorePrep = MorePrep.replace("'",'')
MorePrep = MorePrep.replace(", cp1252",'')
Final = MorePrep.strip()

A simpler way to do it:

open_f = tkFileDialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', defaultextension='.txt')
path_f = your_file.name

Try:

def open():
    open_f = filedialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', defaultextension='.txt')
    path_f = open_f.name
    # You Can Do Anything Here(e.g. print(path_f))

Full code:

from tkinter import filedialog

def open():
    open_f = filedialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', defaultextension='.txt')
    path_f = open_f.name
    print(path_f)
# '/home/norok2/.xsession-errors'

# You can run it by typing:
open()

If all you want is actually a filename, use tkinter.filedialog.asksaveasfilename():

from tkinter import filedialog

filepath = filedialog.asksaveasfilename()
print(filepath)
# '/home/norok2/.xsession-errors'

You should use the name method of your object. Like below:

open_f = tkFileDialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', defaultextension='.txt')
path_f = your_file.name
