Ah the joy of encodings on Windows. This is the piece of code I use 
(trimmed):

class _FileChooser(gtk.FileChooser):
def get_filename(self):
filename = gtk.FileChooser.get_filename(self)
if filename is not None:
return unicode(filename)

def get_current_folder(self):
return unicode(gtk.FileChooser.get_current_folder(self))


And then subclass the above when creating a FileChooserDialog or 
FileChooserButton, like so:

class MyFileChooserDialog(gtk.FileChooserDialog, _FileChooser):
def __init__(self):
super(MyFileChooserDialog, self).__init__()

class MyFileChooserButton(gtk.FileChooserButton, _FileChooser):
def __init__(self):
super(MyFileChooserButton, self).__init__("")


You can do fun things this way, but the most important thing is the 
unicode conversion ofcourse.
