Python Qt5 : Add and remove items between two QTreeWidgets.

Today's tutorial will show you how to add and remove items between two QTreeWidgets.
The source code is very simple to understand: the user interface is created with two QTreeWidgets.
One is completed with elements and when the buttons are pressed, the elements are interchanged.
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QDesktopWidget, QPushButton
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QBoxLayout,QTreeWidget,QTreeWidgetItem

class my_app_class(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.add_button=QPushButton('Add item here')
        self.remove_button=QPushButton('Remove item')
        self.wishlist=QTreeWidget(self)
        self.tree_list=QTreeWidget(self)
        # init the UI
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        # set title of window
        self.setWindowTitle('add and remove items from QTreeWidget!')

        self.init_tree()

        self.resize(800, 480)
        self.center()
        self.show()

    def center(self):
        geometry_frame = self.frameGeometry()
        center_pos = QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center()
        geometry_frame.moveCenter(center_pos)
        self.move(geometry_frame.topLeft())


    def init_tree(self):
        headers = ['A','B','C','D']

        self.tree_list.setColumnCount(len(headers))
        self.tree_list.setHeaderLabels(headers)

        self.wishlist.setColumnCount(len(headers))
        self.wishlist.setHeaderLabels(headers)


        list_layout = QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.LeftToRight)
        list_layout.addWidget(self.tree_list)
        list_layout.addWidget(self.wishlist)

        tree_root = QTreeWidget.invisibleRootItem(self.tree_list)
        # add data to QTreeWidget with QTreeWidgetItem
        my_data = ['1','2','3','4']
        item = QTreeWidgetItem()
        for idx, data in enumerate(my_data):
            item.setText(idx, data)

        tree_root.addChild(item)

        my_data = ['11','10','01','D']
        item = QTreeWidgetItem()
        for idx, data in enumerate(my_data):
            item.setText(idx, data)

        tree_root.addChild(item)

        my_data = ['s', 'c', 'c', 'c']
        item = QTreeWidgetItem()
        for idx, data in enumerate(my_data):
            item.setText(idx, data)

        tree_root.addChild(item)

        btn_layout = QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.RightToLeft)
        btn_layout.addWidget(self.add_button)
        btn_layout.addWidget(self.remove_button)

        main_layout = QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.TopToBottom)
        main_layout.addLayout(list_layout)
        main_layout.addLayout(btn_layout)

        self.add_button.clicked.connect(self.move_item)
        self.remove_button.clicked.connect(self.move_item)

        self.setLayout(main_layout)
        return main_layout


    def move_item(self):
        sender = self.sender()

        if self.add_button == sender:
            source = self.tree_list
            target = self.wishlist
        else:
            source = self.wishlist
            target = self.tree_list

        item = QTreeWidget.invisibleRootItem(source).takeChild(source.currentIndex().row())
        QTreeWidget.invisibleRootItem(target).addChild(item)

if __name__=='__main__':
    # start the QApplication
    my_application = QApplication(sys.argv)
    # create aplication with the class
    example = my_app_class()
    # use exit for QApplication
    sys.exit(my_application.exec_())
