You can't have a slot like this:

MainWindow.btn.clicked.connect(MainWindow.txtbox.setText(test()))

because that's mean: "connect to the return of 
MainWindow.txtbox.setText(test())" and it's not possible at this stage 
of your program.

Use instead a function:

MainWindow.btn.clicked.connect(my_slot) # No parenthesis !

def my_slot():
     MainWindow.txtbox.setText(test())
