[PySide] Double click handling or retaining ownership of mouse events

[Marco Grubert]

Thank you for pointing out the doubleClickInterval, Cristián - that looks helpful.
I should clarify that I want to keep the existing implementation for the single click events, and only change behavior when a user double-clicks.
That's where things are going bad. I am trying to call through to the base class for single-clicks but it expects a QMouseEvent and the one I got earlier has apparently been deleted on the C++ side.

I would rather base the implementation on the 'doubleClickInterval()'
for the QTimer, and use a boolean variable to handle when it's
single or double click, so you can then implement
'mouseDoubleClickEvent()'.

You can check an implementation here:

Not sure if it's better than your approach,
but at least it's simpler IMHO.

Let me know if that's enough, otherwise, we can try to address the
C++ issues you are having in your code.

Cheers
