How to delete QTreeWidgetItem

Question

Several webpages say that QTreeWidgetItem can be deleted by deleting or QTreeWidget.clearing. But my code sample below doesn\'t seem to do so. Am I doi

Answer 1

By calling del i you are just deleting the reference not the actual C++ Object(referent) it refers to, not the object itself.

Change your TreeWidgetItemChild.__del__ function to:

def __del__(self):
    treeWidget = self.treeWidget()
    #removing the QTreeItemWidget object
    treeWidget.takeTopLevelItem(treeWidget.indexOfTopLevelItem(self))
    print 'TreeWidgetItemChild del'
