All QWidget descendants inherit QWidget.enterEvent and QWidget.leaveEvent 
which can be overloaded. You'd need to subclass the widget you're interested 
and overload those two methods to either do what you want or emit a signal 
that can be connected to a slot. 

See the Qt docs for QWidget. You can also track mouse movement if that's 
needed (mouseMoveEvent, setMouseTracking).

You can also create your own signals (PYSIGNAL) that you can connect to.
