[PyKDE] Lambda function call in connect statement

I'm trying to call a function using a lambda call with PyQt.  I bound
the function call to a button using the following commands:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
        self.top_struct_button = QPushButton('Change Top     
Structure',self.top_struct_hb)

        self.connect( self.top_struct_button, SIGNAL( "clicked()" ),
                      lambda s=self,o=ver_obj: s.changeTopStruct(o))
--------------------------------------------------------------------                                        

For debug purposes, changeTopStruct is an empty function:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
    def changeTopStruct(self, drc_obj):
        """
        Pops up an input dialog to prompt user for new top structure
name.
        """
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever I press the button, I get a segfault.  Now the function is not
doing anything, so the segfault must be occurring because of the lambda
statement.

Are lambda statements that call a function supported in PyQt?  I have to
use a lambda because I need to suppress the execution of the function
until I press the button, and I have to pass an argument to the
function.

Am I using lambda improperly here?  Is there some special syntax I need
to use in the connect statement to use lambda?

Thanks,
Aaron
