AttributeError: 'TestWidget' object has no attribute '_shader_program'
I used python 2.7 and OpenGL module

This would mean that Qt did not call initializeGL before paintGL, which does not happen according to the documentation.
Perhaps a bug in your PyQt version, but I've never seen this error here.
