In general, since you have a menu item for that, I'd suggest you to get
rid of the GtkFileChooserButton altogether and show a
GtkFileChooserDialog instead whenever needed. It should be enough to
display the current file name in the title bar as most conventional
programs do.

But if you insist, I can give you sort of hackish solution to your
problem. First you need to send "mnemonic-activate" on your file chooser
button widget. That won't really activate anything, but it will put your
"famous" internal button into focus. Then you can get this focused
widget from your main window and do whatever you please, or simply
activate it directly. I can't help you with python, but in C it would be
something like this:

gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate (GTK_WIDGET (myFileChooserButton), FALSE);
gtk_window_activate_focus (GTK_WINDOW (myMainWindow));
