Имам два работещи примера за ComboBox, в единият има QVBoxLayout в другият няма. Искаше ми се да преправя този с 
Лейаут, като го махна или като му променя размера, но когато го направя накрая не излиза нищо в прозореца.
Ето двата примерни кода:

        self.combo.addItems(distrolist)
        
        # Connect the activated signal on the combo box to our handler.

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
    
    def __init__(self):

def main():
    
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
Нещо не разбирам кое как става...
Ако коментирам редовете свързани с лейаута като  
  self.vbox = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
        self.setLayout(self.vbox)
Какво трябва да добавя , за да има все пак изобразен КомбоБокс?
ПС. Това са ми първи опити с Питон.
