Does Pythonista have a file picker UI?

I want to allow the user to select a local file to be processed by my script. I would like to give the user the ability to move up and down within the directory hierarchy and select files with a particular extension (e.g. .md and .pdf). Does Pythonista have out-of-the-box functionality for doing this.

Don't think there's an out of the box function. I would look at omz's Dropbox file picker for a good file navigator ui. (https://gist.github.com/omz/fb180c58c94526e2c40b)
