Disabling editing QLineEdit

Question

I would like to make it so under certain conditions, it is impossible to edit a QLineEdit widget. Ideally, it would look something like:

QLE_On = QCheckBox("Non-editable?")
generic = QLineEdit()

if QLE_On.isChecked():
#disable editing of generic

Looking at the docs, .isReadOnly might be one possible option how to achieve what I'm looking for, but I'm not quite sure how to implement that.

Simply make the lineEdit uneditable by making it False:

self.lineEdit.setEnabled(False)

If you want the text to be selectable then use:

self.lineEdit.readOnly
