Disable it (the widget(s)). It will appear greyed out and be non interactive. 
Put the code into the handling of the changing of selected items if needed so 
it greys out the ones you want to when you want to. Put appropriate disabling 
in your __init__ (instantiator) routine if needed (say if you want to look 
for installed libraries to do some task and you want to disable the ones not 
installed right away). That's all there's to it I reckon.

yourwidgetchild.setEnable(False). Something like that. Check at api for 
QWidget. Any child of a qwidget is a qwidget itself also.
