Here is an example of how to watch the value of the slider, and modify a QPlainText when the value is at certain values.

from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.Qt import *
import sys


class Window(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Window, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.setLayout(layout)

        self.text = "Please enter some text"
        self.edit = QPlainTextEdit(self.text)
        layout.addWidget(self.edit)

        slider = QSlider(Qt.Horizontal)
        layout.addWidget(slider)
        slider.valueChanged.connect(self.change_value)

    def change_value(self, value):
        if value == 0:
            self.edit.setPlainText(self.text)
        elif value == 1:
            self.edit.setPlainText(self.text[::-1])
        elif value > 1:
            self.edit.setPlainText("Slider value is above 1, value: {0}".format(value))


app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = Window()
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

When the QSlider.valueChanged signal is emitted, the new value is carried with it. So in my slot Window.change_value(self, value) the value positional argument will always contain the new QSlider value; which allows you to test against it.
