[Python] How to translate/drag/move QGraphicsScene?

I know this question was answered a lot of times especially in C++ version of Qt, but I am not so good in C++ and I can't find the solution.

I have a code with QGraphicsView with rectangle made out of QGraphicsPolygonItem in center. I am trying to find a way to make QGraphicsScene translatable/movable/dragable by a user(anything would be okay, I am just trying to give a user an option to move around scene). But none of my tries would work.

I tried setting :

• 
  self.horizontalScrollBar().setValue() and self.verticalScrollBar().setValue()
  
  
• 
  self._scene.setSceneRect(x,y,w,h)
  
  
• 
  setting anchor to AnchorUnderMouse and NoAnchor
  
  
• 
  using translate()
  

None of it makes my scene move... Only thing which made my scene move is setSceneRect(), but once I put it under mouseMoveEvent(self,event) it stops working. Can somebody help me to learn how to move around that rectangle in scene ?
