The QMimeData class has methods for dealing with dropped urls:

def dragEnterEvent(self, event):
    if event.mimeData().hasUrls():
        event.accept()
    else:
        event.ignore()

def dropEvent(self, event):
    for url in event.mimeData().urls():
        path = url.toLocalFile().toLocal8Bit().data()
        if os.path.isfile(path):
            print path
            # do other stuff with path...
