"item_changed" is a new PyQt4 signal defined dynamically. so you need to 
write either:

   widget.connect(widget, Qt.SIGNAL('item_changed'), bar)

or possibly:

   widget.connect(widget, Qt.SIGNAL('item_changed(PyQt_PyObject)'), bar)

you would then emit "item_changed" like this:

   widget.emit(Qt.SIGNAL('item_changed'), widget)

or:

   widget.emit(Qt.SIGNAL('item_changed(PyQt_PyObject)'), widget)

see here for more details:

no. widget is an instance of class MyWidget, not a type.
