PYQT TIP : QSpinBox signal waits for return key to be pressed

Hi everyone today I am going to show you a little tip that I found really useful.

I was working on a UI where a value change of a spin box was triggering a procedure . When the user was typing a number a signal was emitted for every number example , the user wants to type 100 , three signal were emitted , exactly at 1 , 10 ,100 . That was not really a problem but having the procedure running 3 times except then one was bugging me also was giving a slower feedback .

So i found out that setting the :

1	self .QSpinBox.setKeyboardTracking( False )

Will actually hold on the signal until the return key is pressed which is pretty useful.
