Instead of (or as well as) printing the data you will need to store it 
in variables. Then you can use those variables in the other function.

# define storage variables
dir = ""
extn = ""
csv_name = ""

     global dir    # need to specify the global one

      dir = dirname  # store the value

     global extn

     extn = ext

     global csv_name

     csv_name = inv

     print dir,csv_name,extn

But course in a GUI you would normally not use print but instead 
populate the text field of a label or Text widget or some such
device.
