How to track an new/edited item in QTablewidget?

Question

I have a QTableWidget with x rows and 2 columns. Sorting is enabled. I want to add a new Item:

def addlabel(self):
  rows = self.cui.tableWidget.rowCount()
  self.cui.tableWidget.insertRow(rows)
  self.cui.tableWidget.setItem(rows-1,0,QtGui.QTableWidgetItem("*New*"))

How can I track my new item without findItems(text, flags)? Is that possible?

Return the item from the method and later you can do item.row() to get the row.

def addlabel(self):
  rows = self.cui.tableWidget.rowCount()
  self.cui.tableWidget.insertRow(rows)
  item = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem("*New*")
  self.cui.tableWidget.setItem(rows-1,0,item)
  return item

# ...

# somewhere...
  label = self.addlabel()
  print label.row()
