I am upgrading from Python 2.7 to Python 3.6 and from PySide to PySide2. I started by trying to get the "Hello World" from the "Getting Started" site (https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtforpython/gettingstarted.html) working. It displays the widget, its label and the push button, but the push button does not change the text of the label. I added a print() to verify that the button is indeed calling the method associated with the click signal, and even added an update() to try to "encourage" it a bit more. No luck.
