This morning I was working on my open source lyrics projection program, openlp.org, and I was struggling to work out how to remove an item from a QListWidget in PyQt4.
It's fairly simple in Qt4 and C++, you simply fetch the item, and then delete it using the C++ delete keyword:
QListWidgetItem item = ui->listWidget->currentItem(); delete item;
However, I couldn't figure out how to do it in Python. Initially I tried the del keyword, but that didn't work.
item = self.listWidget.currentItem() del item
Then, after seeing this post, I tried assigning it to None. That didn't work either.
item = self.listWidget.currentItem() item = None
Finally after reading the above post for the second time, I realised that I need to remove the item from the list, I couldn't just assign it to None where it is in the list. So I came up with this:
item = self.listWidget.takeItem(self.listWidget.currentRow()) item = None
And behold, it works!
