Hi peeps, The Qt documentation informs us that the proper way to replace the layout on a widget is to first delete the current layout and then install a new one. Setting a new layout before the previous one is deleted won't work. All fine and dandy.
The C++ syntax for removing a widget's layout is: delete widget.layout(); However, the Python equivalent does not work: del widget.layout() In Python, del only unlinks the named reference from its current namespace, triggering the actual deletion if the object's refcount falls to 0. Meaning that 1) you can't call del on the method call itself, and 2) if you assign the method call's return value to a local variable to be deleted, then del only unlinks that variable but the layout itself still has a reference from the widget, and is thus not deleted. Am I missing something? Is this an oversight in PyQt, or is there a nice, clean Python equivalent that I've overlooked? Thanks! -- S. _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list PyKDE@mats.imk.fraunhofer.de http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
