Select a date range using QCalendarWidget in PyQt

Question

I'm using QCalendarWidget in PyQt to find a single date that a user clicks on from a pop-up calendar. I'd like them to be able to select a range of dates- for example, the 12th to the 17th of November instead of just the 12th.

The QCalendarWidget docs mention NoSelection and SingleSelection. How can I implement a multiple selection?

Here is the code I have now:

def selectDates(self):
    self.dateWindow = QWidget()
    self.cal = QCalendarWidget(self)
    self.cal.clicked[QtCore.QDate].connect(self.showDate)
    self.hbox = QHBoxLayout()
    self.hbox.addWidget(self.cal)
    self.dateWindow.setLayout(self.hbox)
    self.dateWindow.setGeometry(300, 300, 350, 300)
    self.dateWindow.setWindowTitle('Calendar')

    self.dateWindow.show()

def showDate(self):
    print "Date picked: ", self.cal.selectedDate()

Though this is a really old post, but I have still posted how i tackled the problem. I have used 2 DateEdits, one for fromDate and the other for toDate. If you want to have a calender pop up effect for your DateEdits, set calendarPopUp parameter to True.
