[PyQt] QTreeWidget and fixed column widths on window resize

[Chris M]

Not sure if there is a 'cleaner' solution but overriding the event is
fairly simple, for example;

class MyTreeWidget(QTreeWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent = None):
        super(MyTreeWidget, self).__init__(parent)

    def resizeEvent(self, event):
        width = event.size().width()
        self.setColumnWidth(1, 100)
        self.setColumnWidth(2, width - 100)

Also means you can make your common customizations within the __init__
method to keep your main code cleaner.
