RS OpenFileNames returns nothing, can not select multiple files

Hi

I’m trying to import multiple STEP files using Python for rhino and started out slowly with this script trying to input file names. However, I get nothing in return from rs.OpenFileNames. Nor can I select multiple files in that dialog-box. I’m on Windows 10 64 bit using Rhino 6.1

Am I doing something weird?

#import rhinoscript.userinterface
#import rhinoscript.geometry
import Rhino
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc

__commandname__ = "ImportSTEPs"


# RunCommand is the called when the user enters the command name in Rhino.
# The command name is defined by the filname minus "_cmd.py"
def RunCommand( is_interactive ):
  
    # Ask for STEP file input
    filenames = rs.OpenFileNames("Open")
    print filenames    

  # you can optionally return a value from this function
  # to signify command result. Return values that make
  # sense are
  #   0 == success
  #   1 == cancel
  # If this function does not return a value, success is assumed
    return 0

if( __name__ == '__main__' ):
    RunCommand(True)

This is my output:

Array[str](())
