What to do to avoid error

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/Desktop/Qt4/Project/01/Test_Class/apps_5.py", line 8, in print_situation

    
self.checkBox = QtGui.QCheckBox(self)
TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
  
QCheckBox(QWidget parent=None): argument 1 has unexpected type 'bool'
  
QCheckBox(QString, QWidget parent=None): argument 1 has unexpected type 'bool'

# python 2.7.9
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
import gui_5


def print_situation(self):

    self.checkBox = QtGui.QCheckBox(self)
    if self.checkBox.checkState() == QtCore.Qt.Checked:
        print "Checked"
    else:
        print "Unchecked"

Sounds like print_situation() is being called with different parameters than you expect it is.  For example, what do you think "self" means here?  Because whatever you think it is, it's apparently a True/False.

My suggestion would be to either 1) change the function to have *args and then print them out so you see what it's actually getting called with, or 2) look up the docs for what button.click.connect does.
