'parent = None' in Python means: a keyword argument, keyword is 'parent', default value is None. (That's basic knowledge of Python.)
But note that the PyQt documentation requires a little more interpretation because: it is automatically derived from the C++ Qt documentation. Thus 'QWidget parent = None' must be interpreted as "the type of the argument must be QWidget.' In Python, you don't declare types of arguments, 'QWidget' is a carryover from the C++ documentation.
Also the PyQt documentation is sometimes manually augmented: the business about 'PyQt owning' is augmentation. It's not obvious what sentences of the documentation are augmented from the C++ documentation.
So I usually consult both the C++ and the PyQt documentation. _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
