I'd assume in that case you don't have any stray references to the
Python object hanging around which can cause problems.

When I've had problems using 'removeChild' on x86, I've used
something like:
def removeWidget (self, w) #w is a QWidget/QObject descendant
dummy = QWidget ()
w.reparent (dummy, QPoint (0, 0))
# when dummy goes out of scope, it gets garbage collected
# along with all of it's children (and the corresponding
# C++ objects get destroyed as well)
The way Qt handles the above is different than the way
'removeChild' followed by 'del w' would work.
