Hmm, that * imports are easily avoided.

You need to call the base class c'tor here, e.g.:

	  super(QFrame, self).__init__()

Most of your code below has issues with missing self. references, which 
will result in access to undefined variables and instances, that are 
prematurely garbarge collected.

                            ^
