Python qt: workflow notes

delete/handle delete

Deleting layouts does not always work well, you'll have much more predictable results if you put your layout into an empty QWidget, then delete the QWidget.

widget.deleteLater()                     # delete a widget (when the current scope exits)

widget.destroyed.connect(some_function)  # run when widget is deleted

class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def closeEvent(self, event):
         # do something
