If you want to remove the rectangle from the selection of the item in python you must use the following:
class GraphicsEllipseItem(QGraphicsEllipseItem):
def paint(self, painter, option, widget):
option.state &= ~QStyle.State_Selected
super(GraphicsEllipseItem, self).paint(painter, option, widget)

Explanation of option.state &= ~QStyle.State_Selected:
state is an attribute of QStyleOptionGraphicsItem that stores the information of the state of the painting that may contain a combination of the following flags:
In this case the flags can be combined with using the "|" operator, and deactivate using the "&~".
To understand it better, let's use the following example: we set the state in State_Active and State_Editing as initial state:
state = State_Active | State_Editing
= 0x00010000 | 0x00400000
= 0x00410000
And to deactivate the State_Active flag:
state & ~State_Active
0x00410000 & ~(0x00010000)
0x00410000 & 0xFFFEFFFF
0x00400000
As you can see, flag State_Active is removed without removing other flags only with binary operations.
So how do you want to deactivate the State_Selected flag and replace it to the state then it must be done:
option.state = option.state & ~QStyle.State_Selected
option.state &= ~QStyle.State_Selected
