I recently was working on some keypress event too (in c++ though but I think the issues might be the same). One thing I realize is that keypress event only appear when the widget is in focus. I have to explicitly set the widget in focus when my mouse enter the widget (I am using the keypress in combination with my mouse to activate a tool) You might want to check if the loss of focus of your widget might be the issue.
