[PyQt] set qlineedit red, easy??

[Matt Smith]

You've told me this before, but I didn't quite follow what was buggy.

pal = QtGui.QPalette(MyLineEdit.palette())
pal.setColor(QtGui.QPalette.Base,QtGui.QColor('red'))
MyLineEdit.setPalette(pal)

It seems that .palette() is returning a const and I shouldn't modify it.
What about .parent()?  should I not use .parent() to make connections?

thanks
