I have looked at the source of QPlainTextEdit and QTextEdit. Actually the
implementations are not consistent.
QPlainTextEdit calls verticalBar.blockSignals(True) before it call setValue
which would otherwise emit valueChanged.

So, here is a hack to get the same behaviour like QTextEdit:

class ScrollBar(QScrollBar):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        QScrollBar.__init__(self, parent)
    def sliderChange(self, change):
        if self.signalsBlocked() and change ==
QAbstractSlider.SliderValueChange::
            self.blockSignals(False)

class PlainTextEdit(QPlainTextEdit):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        QPlainTextEdit.__init__(self, parent)
        self.vbar = ScrollBar(self)
        self.setVerticalScrollBar(self.vbar)

Fortunately sliderChange is virtual and it is called right before emitting
valueChanged in setValue :)
Perhaps you could also monkey-patch sliderChange of the existing scroll-bar.
