Note line 59. The action's first arg is misspelled "Setttings." Using the correct spelling, the action silently fails to be added to the menu.
sorry, but it works perfectly fine for me. that is, i changed the spelling to "Settings...", and that's exactly how it appears in the menu.
what happens if you replace line 70 with:
print repr(self.fileMenu.addAction('Settings'))
