From research on Stack Overflow and other sites I'm 99% sure that the problem I'm having is due to incorrect importing. Below is a QLabel sub class that I'm using to respond to some mouse events:
import Qt
import sys
class ASMovableLabel(Qt.QLabel):
    def mouseReleaseEvent(self, event):
        button = event.button()
        if button == 1:
            print ('LEFT CLICK')
    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        button = event.button()
        if button == 1:
            print ('LEFT CLICK')
        elif button == 3:
            print ('RIGHT CLICK')
            self.setLayout()
    def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
        print ("you moved the mouse: %f, %f", event.x, event.y)
        self.frameRect.setTopLeft(Qt.QPoint(event.x, event.y))
When mouseMoveEvent is triggered I get the following error:
    self.frameRect.setTopLeft(Qt.QPoint(event.x, event.y))
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'setTopLeft'
The other solutions to this type of error I've seen have revolved around the name space, so I would or would not need to include Qt. before all the Qt classes but this error is much farther down in the Qt objects.  Please point out my mistake!
I have also tried:
from PyQt4 import Qt
It gives the same error
UPDATE: based on Messa's comment I made few changes:
import Qt
import sys
class ASMovableLabel(Qt.QLabel):
    def mouseReleaseEvent(self, event):
        button = event.button()
        if button == 1:
            print ('LEFT CLICK')
    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        button = event.button()
        if button == 1:
            print ('LEFT CLICK')
        elif button == 3:
            print ('RIGHT CLICK')
            self.setLayout() #this won't set to nil
    def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
        self.frameRect().setTopLeft(Qt.QPoint(event.globalX(), event.globalY()))
So it seems that in Python the dot syntax are function calls and need to include that trailing "()".  This doesn't include self ( i.e. self().something() )
