Erasing items from a canvas

[Garry Taylor]

Hello,
     I am having a little difficulty removing items from a canvas in
QT/Python, I do a Items = canvas.allItems() and then do a for loop
which does del(item) on each item, I can then do canvas.allItems()
again, and get the same number of items, i.e. they have not been
deleted. The problem happens on my Transmeta laptop, but is far worse
on a G4 PowerBook, both with linux.

Is there a better way to erase items off a canvas?

Thanks

Garry

Thanks again.
