My layout understanding needs improvement

[RoadrunnerWMC]

You *can* nest layouts in Qt, but you do it by adding the inner layout to
the outer layout:

group1 = qtw.QVBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(group1)
button_row = qtw.QHBoxLayout()
group1.addLayout(button_row)

This would behave a little differently from a QGridLayout because the
widgets in each row aren't forced to line up into columns if they have
different widths.
