[PyQt] layout management serious problem

[Brian Kelley]

One of the easiest ways to do this, actually, is by using Qt's  
designer and pyuic to make the python component.  You can use a  
visual builder to make your layouts and add the appropriate widgets.

The nice thing is being able to preview the widgets in various  
rendering styles as well.  If you haven't done this, I highly suggest  
giving it a try to see if you prefer this method.

That being said, it is always good to be able to generate the code  
yourself, but the designer is really nice for more complicated  
layouts of the type you are describing.
