You are almost there
## not tested, but *should* work ;)
from Tkinter import *
from tkFileDialog import askdirectory
root = Tk()
## use a Tkinter.StringVar with and Tkinter Entry widget
d1 = StringVar()
e1 = Entry(root, textvariable=d1)
e1.pack()
def browser():
dir1 = askdirectory()
if dir1:
d1.set(dir1)
b1 = Button(root, text="Browse", command=browser)
b1.pack()
root.mainloop()
