To capture key events you need overwrite the keyPressEvent.
I have a Ui made with Qt4 Designer and do that

class myWin(QtGui.QMainWindow):
     def __init__(self, parent=None):
         QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
         self.ui = Ui_myMain()
         self.ui.setupUi(self)

     def keyPressEvent(self, event):
         if type(event) == QtGui.QKeyEvent:
             #here accept the event and do something
             print event.key()
             event.accept()
         else:
             event.ignore()


if __name__ == "__main__":
     app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
     mainW = myWin()
     mainW.show()
     sys.exit(app.exec_())

I'm not expert, perhaps there is a better way to do.
