You can use pywin32

import win32ui

dlg = win32ui.CreateFileDialog(0)
dlg.SetOFNInitialDir(r'C:\Users\jezequiel\Desktop')
dlg.DoModal()

print(dlg.GetPathName())

How can achieve the same thing without using some third-party modules

You can always just ask your users to pass in the file path as a command-line argument you can get from sys.argv[1] or you could just prompt them to type in the path using input(...).
