[PyQt] Bug in QFileDialog for PyQt5 / Qt5.7 ?

[Maxwell Grady]

>>> from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
>>> app = QtWidgets.QApplication([''])
>>> QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames()
(['/usr/lib/python3.5/re.py', '/usr/lib/python3.5/os.py',
'/usr/lib/python3.5/io.py'], 'All Files (*)')

This code works correctly for me as well on OS X.11 with PyQt5 via Anaconda

The method returns a tuple containing two items. The first of which is a
list of file paths and the second is the file filter that was active when
selecting files.
