Thanks for asking, this is exactly my point. If you connect to the line
edit, the connection is olny triggered if you edit the line edit directly.
If you press the arrows on the spin box. Nothing happens. The examples below
illustrates this:

import sys

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
        
def foo(text):
    print 'valueChanged():', text

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    spin_box = QtGui.QSpinBox()
    line_edit = spin_box.lineEdit()
    line_edit.connect(line_edit, QtCore.SIGNAL('textChanged(const QString
&)'), foo)
    spin_box.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
