PyQt4 storing variable

I started creating my first GUI with PyQt4 a few hours ago and I've caught a snag. I've researched all over the web and while some resources have come close they've never really answered my question.

Basically I want to know if it is possible to take user input text from a widget and store that text into a variable from a button click.

So far I have looked into QLineEdit methods but have not found what I am looking for. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Maybe something like this?

...
    def __init__(self):
        ...
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.on_button_click)
        ...

    def on_button_click(self):
        self.variable = self.line_edit.text()
        print(self.variable)
...
