Most likely self.handleOpen isn't defined as:

class ...
  def handleOpen(self)

but has zero or more than one arguments. There are certainly no
problems at all using signals and slots in PyQt: look at the example
scripts, or my work (http://www.valdyas.org/python), or my article
on the subject in January's Dr Dobbs.
