title: Tkinter filedialog reading in a file path
body: <p>I have searched around and have not really found the answer to my problem yet. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to browse through files to take in an image file and a use its path as a variable to pass into my qr function, but when using file dialog it gives me this </p>
  
  <p>&lt;_io.TextIOWrapper name='C:/Users/Elias/Desktop/New folder/IMG_2635.JPG' mode='r' encoding='cp1252'></p>
  
  <p>rather than this
  C:/Users/Elias/Desktop/New folder/IMG_2635.JPG</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do this better?</p>
