Assuming you are doing the connection from C++, and assuming that the
signal is defined in Python using @pyqtSignal, then once you have a pointer
to the underlying C++ QObject then just use the normal QObject::connect()
call. Pass whatever you defined the signal to be using @pyqtSignal to your
SIGNAL() call in C++.
