Getting the title of a QListWidget item in PyQt5

Question

This is probably a really simple question, but in my program I'm adding entries from an XML to a QListWidget. When a QListWidget item is selected, it triggers a change in a QLabel. I want the QLabel to have the same text as the QListWidget item. How would this be done? Important Code: http://pastebin.com/90qDkdHe (permanent)

You can use QListWidget.currentItem to retrieve the currently selected item and text returns it's text. So it could be like :

self.listWidget.itemSelectionChanged.connect(self.changeHackModifier)

def changeHackModifier(self):
    self.memtitle.setText(self.listWidget.currentItem().text())
