How can I split a widget and add some contents on it in PyQt4?
Dear Python experts!!!
Could you refer me some books for PyQt in which the documentation would be clear(other than Dive into python and Rapid GUI development in python)?

You don't actually split a widget, you use 2 widgets and pass whatever data back and forth. The following code is not exactly what you want but does show how to pass data from one widget to another. When you click on the 'Edit' button the item you selected is passed to the pop up box. The 'edit' function is the function that does this using getText() and setText(). And you could remove the code for the other buttons if that makes the example easier to understand.
