When you get this signal, the contents have already changed, and any
undesired characters are already there, though probably not yet displayed.
Your code only checks the last character, but the insertion point may not
be at the end, and it would only check one character when pasting even at
the end. It also seems to assume ASCII. A better RE might be "\D" (match
non-digit).
This untested code might work for keys and pasting:
def foo(self, widget):
s, n = re.subn("\D+", "", widget.get_text())
if n > 0:
widget.set_text(s)
I expect this will result in another "changed" signal.
