[PyQt] QTreeView access violation

[Dirk Wagener]

Hi

I have the following problem when performing the following steps in 
sequence:

* I have a QTreeView using a custom model.
* I expand a node that contains a bunch of items.
* I select one of the items (children) by clicking on it.
* I then edit the name of the item in-place (custom setData() 
implementation).
* I signal a dataChanged() event.
* I send a signal from somewhere else that the parent must be refreshed.
* The parent removes all its children (removeRows()) and re-populates.
* CRASH!! (only sporadically)
   Qt gives my one of these:

"Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing 
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt.
You must reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions 
there. "

A Visual Studio debugger Window pops up and it seems that an access 
violation took place!
Re-implementing notify() DOES NOT catch the access violation. How can I 
catch access violations
in PyQt?

I am not 100% sure about this, but it seems to have something to do with 
the fact that a selected item gets removed.
If I call clearSelection() before removing the rows, the violation does 
not happen! This feels like a bit of a hack. What is the
correct way to handle this?

Kind regards
Dirk
