The object name is not very important  what you should be focusing at is the variable that stores the lineedit object  le  and your pushbutton object pb    QObject self pb  SIGNAL  clicked      self button clicked   def button clicked self     self le setText  shost     I think this is what you want  I hope i got your question correctly

My first suggestion is to use Designer to create your GUIs   Typing them out yourself sucks  takes more time  and you will definitely make more mistakes than Designer   Here are some PyQt tutorials to help get you on the right track   The first one in the list is where you should start   A good guide for figuring out what methods are available for specific classes is the PyQt4 Class Reference   In this case you would look up QLineEdit and see the there is a text method   To answer your specific question   To make your GUI elements available to the rest of the object  preface them with self   import sys from PyQt4 QtCore import SIGNAL from PyQt4 QtGui import QDialog  QApplication  QPushButton  QLineEdit  QFormLayout  class Form QDialog       def   init   self  parent None           super Form  self    init   parent           self le   QLineEdit           self le setObjectName  host           self le setText  Host            self pb   QPushButton           self pb setObjectName  connect           self pb setText  Connect             layout   QFormLayout           layout addWidget self le          layout addWidget self pb           self setLayout layout          self connect self pb  SIGNAL  clicked     self button click          self setWindowTitle  Learning        def button click self             shost is a QString object         shost   self le text           print shost   app   QApplication sys argv  form   Form   form show   app exec
