I can\'t figure it. I want to be able to swap out QWidgets according to events like button clicks but I am missing something and I haven\'t been able to search out any example a

You have to use QStackedWidget, where you update the indexes.

class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        hbox = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(self)
        self.stacked = QtGui.QStackedWidget(self)
        self.stacked.addWidget(QtGui.QCalendarWidget())
        self.stacked.addWidget(QtGui.QTextEdit())

        splitter1 = QtGui.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Vertical)

        for text in ["Calendar", "TextEdit"]:
            btn = QtGui.QPushButton(text, self)
            btn.clicked.connect(self.setWidget)
            splitter1.addWidget(btn)

        splitter1.addWidget(self.stacked)
        hbox.addWidget(splitter1)
        self.setLayout(hbox)
        self.setGeometry(0, 0, 600, 600)
        self.setWindowTitle('Switching QWidgets')
        self.show()

    def setWidget(self):
        source = self.sender()
        if source.text() == "Calendar":        
            self.stacked.setCurrentIndex(0)
        elif source.text() == "TextEdit":
            self.stacked.setCurrentIndex(1)
