Sorry, here's the original e-mail in plain text: Hi, I've discovered some very strange behaviour when trying to delete a QWidget from a QGridLayout. The following code demonstrates this behaviour: >>> from PyQt4 import QtGui >>> import sys >>> app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) >>> grid_layout = QtGui.QGridLayout() >>> grid_layout.addWidget(QtGui.QWidget()) >>> item = grid_layout.takeAt(0) >>> item.deleteLater() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'QWidgetItem' object has no attribute 'deleteLater' This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Firstly, why is it returning a QWidgetItem when I inserted a QWidget to begin with? Secondly, every Qt object derives from QObject, and deleteLater() is a method of QObject, so that method should exist.
