You don't need PyIEventReceiver at all. You can directly subclass 
IEventReceiver, if that's what you want to achieve.

/Abstract/ is meant to force SIP *NOT* to allow instantiations of the class. 
That's not what you want.

You didn't define them as "virtual" in the sip file... what did you expect? :)

Define them as "virtual" (and even add the "= 0" where appropriate) and you 
will get the right behaviour.
