I am not sure why it should be ugly. All one would need is a button 
"Open", or something like that, that pops up the system file chooser 
dialogue. Something like this:

The first example doesn't even load anything, it simply writes a string 
(the file name) into a field. The field is already there are the top of 
the ipython frontend.
