[PyQt] Signal on Selection in QTreeView

[Kevin Foss]

Andreas,

   Your understanding seems to correct.   I do not want to change the list 
entries at this point.  To confirm what you said, I do want to have the item 
details of a list entry displayed in a separate widget when the user selects 
the list entry.  Part of the explanation below was an idea to get the row 
number of the currently selected list item and then display that individual 
list item in the other widget.  

   Sorry if I'm a bit confusing in my description.  The way I understand how 
these capabilities work skew the way I explain them.
