[PyQt] Newbie with a circular problem calling problem

[Knapp]

Hello, I am a bit new to all this, so I hope this question is not to
dumb. I am writing a program that must have a form with just these
inputs and one input effects the other. I have one spin box,
ST(strength) that sets the base of the second, HP (hit points). So if
you have 10 ST then you have 10 HP but you can buy more HP by rolling
the roller for ST. This is where it gets really messed up! Changing ST
must update ST and HP. Calling HP must update only HP. I know this
explanation sucks but hopefully the code will help. I am using count
to try and stop the run away look that is happening. Is there a much
better way?!

BTW, ST cost one price and HP a second so changes from both rollers
must be kept separately be be shown added.

Thanks all!
