It should work (assuming the parent argument to createEditor() is not 
None/NULL).

The qitemdelegate.sip file looks like it might be missing some annotations. 
The following may help...

  virtual QWidget *createEditor(QWidget *parent /TransferThis/,
      ...) const /Factory/;

...but there may still be issues. A test case would be very helpful.
