Thanks for the reply!

I see, same with e.g. QListWidget but then:

 >>> c = QtGui.QTreeWidget()
 >>> bool(c)
True

 >>> c = QtGui.QTableWidget()
 >>> bool(c)
True

 >>> c = QtGui.QLineEdit()
 >>> bool(c)
True

 >>> c = QtGui.QComboBox()
 >>> c.setEditable(True)
 >>> c.setEditText("test")
 >>> bool(c)
False

 >>> c = QtGui.QComboBox()
 >>> v = QtGui.QTreeWidget()
 >>> c.setModel(v.model())
 >>> c.setView(v)
 >>> bool(c)
False
 >>> v.addTopLevelItems([QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem()])
 >>> bool(c)
True

Somehow illogical or? Sure, when poking around I see e.g. QComboBox 
implements __len__ and not __nonzero__/__bool__, whereas 
QTreeWidget-item isn't iterable, etc and that explains the results. 
Anyhow, lesson learned: be precise when using isTrue. Thanks! :)
