Is the indentation in your source-file correct? Because here it looks as if the 
def-line and the print-line are the same indentation level, which would make 
the eventFilter-function an empty function.

While your Filter-class subclasses QObject, are you calling QObjects 
constructor from your constructor? As far as I know the constructors of parent 
classes aren't called automaticly in python...

Have fun,
