How to add stretch for QGridLayout in PyQt5?

I created widgets in a grid-layout. The widgets are stretching based on the window. Is it possible to avoid the stretching and align them as shown in picture below? I created a code to achieve this, but I feel it is not a straightforward solution. If there are any better solutions to achieve this, please share them.

Grid layout result:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
app =QApplication([])
window=QWidget()
GL=QGridLayout(window)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R1C1'),0,0)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R1C2'),0,1)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R2C1'),1,0)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R1C1'),1,1)
window.showMaximized()
app.exec_()

enter image description here

Required Result:

My code:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
app =QApplication([])
window=QWidget()
VL=QVBoxLayout(window);HL=QHBoxLayout();VL.addLayout(HL)
GL=QGridLayout();HL.addLayout(GL)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R1C1'),0,0)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R1C2'),0,1)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R2C1'),1,0)
GL.addWidget(QPushButton('R1C1'),1,1)
HL.addStretch();VL.addStretch()
window.showMaximized()
app.exec_()

I've solved this by using .setSpacing() and adding the below code:

MainLayout.addWidget(QLabel(''), MainLayout.rowCount(),0)
MainLayout.setRowStretch(MainLayout.rowCount(),1)
MainLayout.addWidget(QLabel(''),0,MainLayout.columnCount())
MainLayout.setColumnStretch(MainLayout.columnCount(),1)

.setSpacing() and .setContentMargins() will work beside this code, I don't know why, but it works very well.

The QGridLaout class doesn't have any simple convenience methods like QBoxLayout.addStretch() to do this. But the same effect can be achieved by adding some empty, stretchable rows/columns, like this:

GL.setRowStretch(GL.rowCount(), 1)
GL.setColumnStretch(GL.columnCount(), 1)
