Answer 1

There is a Python module called win32ui. Its found in the Python for Windows extensions package. You want the CreateFileDialog function.

Documentation

Edit: This is a save dialog example. Check the documentation for the other settings.

import win32ui

if __name__ == "__main__":
    select_dlg = win32ui.CreateFileDialog(0, ".txt", "default_name", 0, "TXT Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*|")
    select_dlg.DoModal()

    selected_file = select_dlg.GetPathName()
    print selected_file
