I need to do some actions when item in QTreeWidget activates, but following code doestn't gives me expected result:

class MyWidget(QTreeWidget):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MyWidget, self).__init__(parent)
        self.connect(self, SIGNAL("activated(QModelIndex)"), self.editCell)


    def editCell(self, index):
        print index

or 

 class MyWidget(QTreeWidget):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
         super(MyWidget, self).__init__(parent)
         self.connect(self, SIGNAL("itemActivated(QTreeWidgetItem, int)"),
                      self.editCell)


     def editCell(self, item, column=0):
         print item

What am i doing wrong or how to hadnle item activation in the right way?

Thanks in advance, Serge

If you look at the documentation the description of the signal you're looking for has an asterisk.

QTreeWidget::itemActivated(QTreeWidgetItem *item, int column)

This means your connect call should look like this:

self.connect(self, SIGNAL("itemActivated(QTreeWidgetItem*,int)"), self.editCell)

PyQt has a nice new API to connect signals (since version 4.6 I believe). I recommend using it.

self.itemActivated.connect(self.editCell)
