This may be due to something I missed in your code. When you
connect the signal from the signal mapper to your class, you
need to specify the signal as a C++ signature as well:

        self.connect(self.signalMapper, QtCore.SIGNAL(
             "mapped(int)"),
             self.deleteProductIngredient)

The second example should now work.

Looking at the first example, which uses SLOT() rather than specifying
a Python method, the following might be due to the way you call
connect, though it is surprising:

It looks like you should try something like this:

             self.connect(w, QtCore.SIGNAL("stateChanged(int)"),
                  self.signalMapper,
                  QtCore.SLOT("map()"))

I can't understand why calling self.app.connect() would cause the
connection to be attempted between self.signalMapper and self.app.

Maybe someone on the PyQt/PyKDE mailing list would be able to
explain the behaviour you're seeing:
