Yes, you're right. I thought, that Mark adjusted the 2.6 variant of book examples accordingly, but obviously, that was a mirage.. Luckily, Phil's concept is pretty sound, here is his description: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#new-style-signal-and-slot-support Just play with it a bit and call back in case of trouble.
