PySide QTreeView: Print the name of the selected item

Question

I'm trying to get the string of the selected item from a QTreeView.

I took some hints from this PAGE here and a little bit from the Qt documentation to try and figure this out, but I'm not making any progress. Thoughts?

Here's a sample code. I'd like to make it so if I click on row 1, it will print out "page 1"

from PySide import QtCore, QtGui
from shiboken import wrapInstance
import maya.OpenMayaUI as mui

def get_parent():
    ptr = mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
    return wrapInstance( long( ptr ), QtGui.QWidget )

Stumbled upon my answer HERE. Here's the edited slot:

# slots --------------------------------------------------------------
def on_click(self, item ):
    # print item from first column
    index = self.tv_file_list.selectedIndexes()[0]
    item = self.tv_model.itemFromIndex(index).text()
    print item
