Humm, you have:

def process_event(param_dict):
        event_attr = param_dict["attr"]
        sample     = param_dict["sample"]
        raw_buf    = param_dict["raw_buf"]
        comm       = param_dict["comm"]
        name       = param_dict["ev_name"]

And then, on sample you have (from a recent python script for processing
Intel PT samples):

def print_common_start(comm, sample, name):
       ts = sample["time"]
       cpu = sample["cpu"]
       pid = sample["pid"]
       tid = sample["tid"]
       print "%16s %5u/%-5u [%03u] %9u.%09u %7s:" % (comm, pid, tid, cpu, ts / 1000000000, ts %1000000000, name),
