[PyQt] Re-implemented function doesn't get called from internal Qt methods

[Jugdish]

I have written my own class derived from QTabBar with a re-implementation of
the QTabBar::initStyleOption() method, but for some reason it never gets
executed.

Here is my code:

########################################
from PyQt4 import QtGui

class MyTabBar(QtGui.QTabBar):

    def initStyleOption(self, option, tabIndex):
        print "inside initStyleOption"
        QtGui.QTabBar.initStyleOption(self, option, tabIndex)
########################################

Looking at the Qt source code for QTabBar (qtabbar.cpp), I see that
initStyleOption() is called inside the paintEvent() method, so I should be
seeing my print statement on every paint event.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
-Jugdish
