If you reimplement methods of a base class, you normally call the method 
of the base class before or after your own functionality. Otherwise you 
would have to reimplement the whole functionality of the base class method.
Calling QLineEdit.focusInEvent(self, event) in your focusInEvent() 
method and QLinieEdit.focusOutEvent(self, event) in your focusOutEvent() 
should help.

Note: If you call setCursorPosition(0), you loose the text selection and 
there is no way to keep the text selected and have the cursor at the 
beginning of the text.
