It may be that the widget is not selecting key events (which is different
from focus handling). You can add to the event mask with the add_events
method:
widget.add_events(gtk.GDK.KEY_PRESS_MASK | gtk.GDK.KEY_RELEASE_MASK)
You can set or unset the the CAN_FOCUS flag on a widget as well:
widget.set_flags(gtk.CAN_FOCUS)
widget.unset_flags(gtk.CAN_FOCUS)

unset the CAN_FOCUS flag.
