A gtk.FileChooserButton implements the gtk.FileChooser interface. This means you can just use those methods on your button. get_current_folder() is probably the one you need.

which signal is better to connect? for using the gtk.FileChooser i must one, but i have only the gtk.FileChooserButton ... i must create a gtk.FileChooser in glade and then use the builder.get_object() ? – Clepto Jul 7 '12 at 21:43
You don't need to create a gtk.FileChooser, the gtk.FilechooserButton implements its interface, which means you can use those methods, signals and properties. Do you really need signals? Usually you just retrieve the selected folder with the above mentioned get_current_folder() method. – Timo Jul 7 '12 at 22:33
you are right! thanks! – Clepto Jul 8 '12 at 7:12
