I am making a program that converts files from one format to another. In order to use it, I would like to be able to make it so that I can open the file easily. Currently I change the file directory in the source code, but I would like to be able to just right-click on the file, and open it with the python program. Is there some sort of place holder for the filename I can use?

not quite just a place holder, but a GUI with buttons, of which there are many to choose from (tkinter is built into python, but is lightweight).

If strictly fixed location text based, You could probably also do it with cursors ( https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html ) by creating a mouse event and activating a second event is mouse x, y position was within rectangle of filename.
