[PyQt] Understanding QGridLayout colspan

I've got a problem undestanding how colspan parameter in 
QGridLayout.addWidget() function works. Indeed, IMHO it's broken.
The attached example accepts a number as argument which is the colspan of the 
first QLineEdit (out of three).

With:

python colspan.py 1

All three widgets are drawn with the same width. Which is right. But starting 
with:

python colspan.py 2

(and up) the first widget (which is assigned colspan="2") uses LESS space than 
the other two. So if we have three widgets with colspan 2, 1, 1 respectively 
the one with higher colspan is smaller than the other two! Shouldn't this be 
the other way round? Those with higher colspan take up more space?
