title: Parsing the results of askopenfilenames()?
body: <p>I'm trying to get a list of filenames from tkinter.filedialog.askopenfilenames() in Python 3.2.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    files = askopenfilenames(initialdir="C:\\Users\\BVCAP\\Videos", title="Select files")
      self.num_files.set(len(files))  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was expecting the output to be a tuple (or maybe a list) with each element containing a filename. As far as I can tell, it's returning a string with each element contained within curly-brackets {} like so:</p>
  
  <p><code>{C:\Users\BVCAP\File1.txt} {C:\Users\BVCAP\File2.txt}</code></p>
  
  <p>This is what I get if I try print(files). It looks like it's formatted like a list of some sort, but it seems to just be a string. Am I doing something wrong, or is the output of this function actually a string formatted like a list of files, which I need to split up by myself.</p>
