Getting all items of QComboBox - PyQt4 (Python)

I have A LOT of QComboBoxes, and at a certain point, I need to fetch every item of a particular QComboBox to iterate through.
Although I could just have a list of items that correspond to the items in the QComboBox, I'd rather get them straight from the widget itself (there are a huge amount of QComboBoxes with many items each).

Is there any functions / methods that will do this for me?
(Eg: 

 QComboBoxName.allItems()

)
I've looked through the class reference but couldn't find anything relevant.

I've thought of a few messy methods, but I don't like them.
(Like iterating through the QComboBox by changing the index and getting the item, etc).

Solution

  • As far as I can tell, you can just reference an item using .itemText():

    AllItems = [QComboBoxName.itemText(i) for i in range(QComboBoxName.count())]
