I'm not really sure what you're asking, but I'm guessing you're 
searching for the default text direction, right? If not, specify your 
question.

This should do it:

 >>> from gi.repository import Gtk
 >>> Gtk.Widget.get_default_direction() == Gtk.TextDirection.LTR
True
 >>> Gtk.Widget.set_default_direction(Gtk.TextDirection.RTL)
 >>> button = Gtk.Button("Just for testing")
 >>> button.get_direction() == Gtk.TextDirection.RTL
True
