I wish Tkinter included a New Folder button on the Linux platform, but it doesn't seem to. The best I could do was to just type the new folder name in the text field, and then create the new folder after the dialog box closes.

def process_files(self):
    savedir = tkFileDialog.askdirectory(title='Select folder to save results')
    os.makedirs(savedir)
    # Now write some files into savedir.
