PyQt QScrollArea垂直滚动条自动滚到底端

最近在做一个类似QQ的局域网消息传输软件，当发送消息或者接收到消息时，滚动条应该自动滚动到最下方。
刚开始想的是在发送或接收消息并创建提示信息后，执行如下代码

self.scrollBar.setValue(self.scrollBar.maximum())

这样做发现滚动条是可以向下动，但是不会到最下方，也就是说会有一点点空隙。
bebug发现原因是增加滚动区域高度后，maximum方法获取的值还是原本的值，也就是还没有来得及更新。
解决方案：
设置一个标志位

self.scrollButtonFlag = False

连接rangeChanged信号

self.scrollBar.rangeChanged.connect(self.handleScrollBarRangeChanged)

在需要移动滚动条的时候，将标志位置为True

    def handleSendBtnClicked(self):
        self.createItem()
        self.scrollButtonFlag = True

对应的槽函数

    def handleScrollBarRangeChanged(self, minValue, maxValue):
        if self.scrollButtonFlag:
            self.scrollBar.setValue(maxValue)
            self.scrollButtonFlag = False

设置这个标志位是为了防止手动改变滚动区域范围（比如说resize）的时候，滚动条的位置错误移动。

运行效果
启动的时候

点击发送按钮后
滚动条正常移动到最下方

将滚动条移动到某个位置，然后进行resize
resize前后滚动条的位置不发生改变
