How to pass arguments to functions by the click of button in PyQt?

Question

I want to pass the arguments to a function when I click the button. What should I add to this line button.connect(button, QtCore.SIGNAL(\'clicked()\'), calluser(name))

In Python, class instances are callable. You can just use an instance of a class as a function. That class can contain whatever you want. (In some languages or frameworks, a callable object is called a functor or a function object.)

class CallUser:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    def __call__(self):
        print(self.name)

def Qbutton():
    button = QtGui.QPushButton("button",widget)
    name = "user"
    button.setGeometry(100,100, 60, 35)
    button.clicked.connect(CallUser(name))
    # Object of type CallUser will work as a function!
