HI,
my gui has one horizontalbox layout, who has a left panel and a right panel.

I have wrote a function to populate the left panel with the widgets that I need. They are inside a verticalbox:

def rightPanel(self):
verticalboxRP=QVBoxLayout()
welcomeText = QLabel("Android Forensic Automator (AnForA)\n a software tool that automates the forensic analysis of Android applications", self)
verticalboxRP.addWidget(welcomeText)
self.setLayout(verticalboxRP)
self.show()

I have a similar function for the left panel.

Now the problem is: since I like to keep the creation of the left and right panel in separate functions, how can I use these functions in order to add them in the main gui who has a horizontal box layout.

My attempt to create the main window was something like this:

def UI(self):
horizontalbox=QHBoxLayout()
rightPanel(horizontalbox)
leftPanel(horizontalbox)

#horizontalbox.addLayout(lp)
#horizontalbox.addLayout(rp)

self.setLayout(horizontalbox)
self.show()

but, of course, I get error since I'm not very confident with pyqt and with python too (sorry).

Could you help me to figure out how can I manage a horizontal box who contains two vertical box layouts?
Below my signature, my current code.

Thanks.

Massimo
