Hi David,
thanks for your example! I was experimeting on QRubberBand too and it 
helped me a lot.

I tried your code myself but I found a small bug that confused me at 
start, in:

[...]
def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):

         if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:
[...]

you check if the value retured by QMouseEvent.button() is Qt.LeftButton 
but in 
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qmouseevent.html#buttoon 
states that "the returned value is always Qt.NoButton for mouse move 
events."; the code in mouseMoveEvent will never be executed and the 
rubber band will not work.
