[PyQt] signal editTextChanged

[Kerri Reno]

I have a QComboBox, and I want the users to be able to edit the text, and I
want to know when the text has changed.  I'm trying to use the signal
editTextChanged on the comboBox, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Following is example code that illustrates what I mean.  The line shows
'<Account Code>' and if you type over it, the updateText function should be
called and isn't.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

TIA,
Kerri

import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import *

class acWidget(QWidget):

    def __init__(self,parent,type='any',label=None):
        QWidget.__init__(self,parent)

        hLayout = QHBoxLayout(self)
        hLayout.setSpacing(6)

        if label:
            lbl = QLabel()
            lbl.setText(label)

            hLayout.addWidget(lbl)

        self.acCB = QComboBox(self)
        self.acCB.setObjectName('acCB')
        self.acCB.setDuplicatesEnabled(False)
        self.acCB.addItem('<account code>')

        self.acCB.setEditable(True)

        hLayout.addWidget(self.acCB)

        self.acCB.setEditable(True)
        self.connect(self.acCB,
                SIGNAL('editTextChanged(text)'),
                self.updateText)

        self.acCB.lineEdit().selectAll()

    def updateText(self,text):
        print 'got here'


if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    form = QDialog()
    layout = QVBoxLayout(form)
    acWidget = acWidget(form,label='Account Code:')
    layout.addWidget(acWidget)
    form.setLayout(layout)
    form.setMinimumWidth(400)
    form.setMinimumHeight(200)
    form.show()
    app.exec_()
