multiple column deletion from a qtablewidget in PyQt

Question

In my table i am having 5 columns in common and adding some column on the fly (Depending on the input). when the process is reloaded all the column will be deleted and the default 5 columns is created and the other columns too. The script i am using for column deletion is as :

totalColumns = self.TBL_shotDetails.columnCount()
for index in xrange(totalColumns) :
    self.TBL_shotDetails.removeColumn(index)

When running this lines of code, only the first two columns are getting deleted. And the rest are not getting deleted. Can anyone suggest me how to do this.

In addiction to my answer, here is a difference between range and xrange http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135041/should-you-always-favor-xrange-over-range — Qwerty, Mar 13 '13 at 12:04

Did you check the value of index? The index is still incrementing. Column which had index 3 now replaces deleted column with index 2, but you continue on deleting incrementing index.

EDIT:
You might want to delete from 7 down to 0.

Yes when i am adding print statement for each index its getting printed (for Eg: 0 - 7(with eight columns)) – Sudeepth Patinjarayil Mar 08 '13 at 11:59
Lets say you have [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. You delete first column. What will happen to others? [ – Qwerty Mar 08 '13 at 12:59
Thanks man i got it right. i just reversed the index and the table column is cleared. – Sudeepth Patinjarayil Mar 12 '13 at 04:52
