The PySide/PyQT QValidator restricts the type of input a widget like QLineEdit can accept. Here is a simple test.
Testing the PySide Validator
''' ps_test_QIntValidator1.py

QIntValidator, QLabel, QLineEdit, QVBoxLayout, QGroupBox
PySide is the official LGPL-licensed version of PyQT

tested with Python27/33 and PySide112 by vegaseat 07feb2013
'''
from PySide.QtCore import *
from PySide.QtGui import *
# replace [] with sys.argv for commandline
app = QApplication([])
# ----- start your widget test code ----
group_box = QGroupBox("accepts only integers")
label = QLabel()
edit = QLineEdit()
# now edit will only accept integers
edit.setValidator(QIntValidator())
# connect edit to label
# update label each time the text has been edited
edit.textEdited.connect(label.setText)
vbox = QVBoxLayout()
vbox.addWidget(edit)
vbox.addWidget(label)
group_box.setLayout(vbox)
group_box.show()
# ---- end of widget test code -----
app.exec_()
