Thanks for taking the time to reply to this.

I wasn't thinking this through properly. I set up the builder object in
the class initiation function and in in this class I amended the
relevant function to show and then hide it when destroyed. In the main
program I created only one instance of the class globally rather than
creating it again and again in the button callback

For reference, a brief description of what I did is as follows:

##############################################################################
# main.py
# This is the main program


...
...
# Imports the class file containing delete dialog which is in
delete_dialog package
import delete_dialog.dialog_tree
....

# Global variable
dd_ins = delete_dialog.dialog_tree.delete_folder_dialog_class()

...
other code
...
    # button callback which calls the function in class 
    def del_button_cb(self, widget, data=None):
         self.dd_ins.create_dialog()
...
other code
...
# end of main.py

        def __init__( self):
                self.builder = gtk.Builder()
                self.builder.add_from_file("delete_dialog/delete_dialog.glade")
                self.dialog = self.builder.get_object("delete_dialog")
                self.dd_treeview = self.builder.get_object("dd_treeview")
                self.dd_treestore = self.builder.get_object("dd_treestore")
