Ok I got it. Probably there is a better way, but here is what I found 
(example):


def connect_functions(self):
    self.gtk_entry.connect('event', self.gtk_entry_event)

def gtk_entry_event(self,widget,event):
    if widget.get_selection_bounds():
          'enable selection functions'
          bounds = widget.get_selection_bounds()
          print widget.get_chars(bounds[0],bounds[1])
       else:
          'disable selection function'
          pass
