Try:
tkFileDialog.asksaveasfilename

By the way, your installation probably has the source code; if so, this 
file is in <python root>/lib/lib-tk/ (if you don't have source it can be 
downloaded from python.org and individual files can be examined at 
sourceforge). I've found looking at the Tkinter-related files quite 
useful for figuring out stuff like this. In particular, I've found it 
helpful to look through tkFileDialog.py, tkFont.py and Tkinter.py.
