React to new selection with PyQGIS

Question

I'm currently working on a QGIS plugin which uses the selected items of a vector layer containing only points. Using the current selection is quite easy but I need to react in real time to a change in the selection.

How can i do that without creating a custom selection tool. I haven't found anything in the developper cookbook or on google.

Connect a SLOT to this SIGNAL: https://qgis.org/api/classQgsVectorLayer.html#ac32339abf885be1ed2262646e975dd87 — Germán Carrillo, May 23 '19 at 16:00

Thank you! Now I don't even know how I missed the whole signal part of the python API after the time I spent in it ^^' – Welteam May 24 '19 at 07:44
