Python - Select Folder?

[ninjismo]

Hi! 

I'm writing a shelf tool that allows users on Linux to search a directory and its sub-directories for a certain file-type / keyword.

To do this I've used a readMultiInput like below - 

start_popup = hou.ui.readMultiInput(start_message,
                                    ("Path to Search", "File to Look For"),
                                    initial_contents=(home_dir, ".exr"),
                                    title="File Finder",
                                    buttons=('OK', 'Cancel'),
                                    default_choice=0,
                                    close_choice=1)

In this version of the script, users need to manually type in / paste the directory they want to search, but I'd like for there to be a pop-up dialog allowing users to select a folder, the same way hou.ui.selectFile() allows you to select a file. 

Is there a way to do this?

hou.ui.selectFile(file_type=hou.fileType.Directory)

Thanks, Tomas! This is exactly what I was looking for.
