wrong constructor argument type, PySide

Well I can't figure out this issue, I am tryinf to fix something more complicated, and suddenly python came up with this:

class MainWidget(QWidget):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):            
        super(MainWidget,self).__init__(parent)
        self.initUI()

...
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):   

    def __init__(self, parent=None):        
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)        
        self.mainWidget = MainWidget(MainWindow)

and my IDE is saying that:

File "/home/maze/Develop/StartApp/startapp.py", line 47, in __init__
    super(MainWidget,self).__init__(parent)
TypeError: 'PySide.QtGui.QWidget' called with wrong argument types:
  PySide.QtGui.QWidget(Shiboken.ObjectType)
Supported signatures:
  PySide.QtGui.QWidget(PySide.QtGui.QWidget = None, PySide.QtCore.Qt.WindowFlags = 0)

I think, before it was working that way... Could You show me whats it about? Thanks for Your time.

You are calling the MainWidget constructor with an object type as parameter instead of an object instance in the constructor of MainWindow.

You should have:

self.mainWidget = MainWidget(self)

instead of:

self.mainWidget = MainWidget(MainWindow)
