How to take input from ComboBox in PyQt4

I have created a combobox in PyQt4. This combobox will have 5 options and the user needs to select one option among it and click the submit button. I have tried to define a function called printing action to be used after the user clicks the submit button

def home(self):

    self.lbl = QtGui.QLabel('Types of Analysis', self)
    self.lbl.setFont(QtGui.QFont('SansSerif', 15))
    btn = QtGui.QPushButton('Submit', self)
    btn.move(200, 200)
    cb = QtGui.QComboBox(self)
    btn = QtGui.QPushButton('Submit', self)
    cb.addItem('Sentiment Analysis')
    cb.addItem('Data Cleansing')
    cb.addItem('Genomics')
    cb.addItem('Integration')
    cb.addItem('Visualization')
    cb.move(200,100)
    cb.resize(150,40)
    QtGui.QApplication.setStyle(QtGui.QStyleFactory.create('Cleanlooks'))
    cb.activated[str].connect(self.onactivate)
    btn.clicked.connect(self.printingaction)
    self.show()

def printingaction(self):
    print(t)

Can you help me in understanding how to take the input after the user has selected one among the given options and presses the submit button

Here's an example where it will print the comboBox's current text and index:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore

class MyWindow(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent = None):
        super(MyWindow, self).__init__(parent)

        # Create controls
        self.lbl = QtGui.QLabel('Types of Analysis', self)
        self.lbl.setFont(QtGui.QFont('SansSerif', 15) )
        self.cb = QtGui.QComboBox(self)
        self.cb.addItems(['Sentiment Analysis', 'Data Cleansing', 'Genomics', 'Integration', 'Visualization'])
        self.btn = QtGui.QPushButton('Submit', self)
        self.btn.clicked.connect(self.printingaction)

        # Create layout
        mainLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
        mainLayout.addWidget(self.lbl)
        mainLayout.addWidget(self.cb)
        mainLayout.addWidget(self.btn)
        self.setLayout(mainLayout)

        self.show()

    def printingaction(self):
        print 'Current item: {0}'.format( self.cb.currentIndex() ) # ComboBox's index
        print 'Current index: {0}'.format( self.cb.currentText() ) # ComboBox's text

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = MyWindow()
    sys.exit( app.exec_() )
