QTableWidget Force Single Item Selection

Question

In PyQt how can I force a QTableWidget to only accept a single section (so that you can't select more items with Shift or crtl)?

You need to call QAbstractItemBiew.setSelectionMode() or your QTableWidget with the appropriate SelectionBehavior, in your case QAbstractItemView.SingleSelection.

So something along the lines of:

myTable = QtGui.QTableWidget()
myTable.setSelectionMode(QtGui.QAbstractItemView.SingleSelection)
