python for-loop collecting items in pyside widget

Question

Is it possible to add each item of a QTreeView to a comma-separated list using PySide, for example:

['Workspaces/', 'Workspaces/0010', 'Video/']

Here is the following code that I have written that produces folder directories:

import sys
import os
from PySide import QtGui
from PySide.QtCore import *
from PySide.QtGui import *

class WorkSpaceUtility(QtGui.QWidget):

    def __init__(self):
        super(WorkSpaceUtility, self).__init__()

        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):

        # Treelist View
        self.tvFolders = QtGui.QTreeWidget(self)
        self.tvFolders.setHeaderLabel('Folders')
        self.tvFolders.setSortingEnabled(True)
        self.tvFolders.resize(300,300)
        self.tvFolders.move(0,0)

        # Add TEMP folders for testing
        self.addItem('Audio', self.tvFolders.invisibleRootItem())
        item = self.addItem('Workspaces', self.tvFolders.invisibleRootItem())
        self.addItem('0010', item)
        vid = self.addItem('Video', self.tvFolders.invisibleRootItem())
        self.addItem('0020', vid)
        self.addItem('0010', vid)
        shot = self.addItem('0050', vid)
        self.addItem('0050_10', shot)
        asset = self.addItem('0050_20', shot)
        self.addItem('donuts', asset)
        self.addItem('0050_30', shot)
        self.addItem('0040', vid)

        # Print Treeview
        bnPrintInfo = QtGui.QPushButton('Print Info', self)
        bnPrintInfo.resize(280,40)
        bnPrintInfo.move(10, 310)       
        bnPrintInfo.clicked.connect(self.PrintInfo)

        self.resize(300, 360)
        self.center()

        self.setWindowTitle('Workspace Utility')  
        self.show()

    def PrintInfo(self):
        count = self.tvFolders.topLevelItemCount()

        for x in xrange(count):
            name = self.tvFolders.invisibleRootItem().child(x).text(0)
            childcnt = self.tvFolders.invisibleRootItem().child(x).childCount()

            print name,childcnt
        # print var

    def center(self):

        qr = self.frameGeometry()
        cp = QtGui.QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center()
        qr.moveCenter(cp)
        self.move(qr.topLeft())

    def addItem(self, name, parent):
        self.tvFolders.expandItem(parent) 
        item = QTreeWidgetItem(parent)
        item.setText(0, name)
        #It is important to set the Flag Qt.ItemIsEditable
        item.setFlags(Qt.ItemIsSelectable | Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable | Qt.ItemIsEnabled | Qt.ItemIsDragEnabled | Qt.ItemIsEditable)

        item.setIcon(0,self.style().standardIcon(QStyle.SP_DirIcon))
        return item

def main():

    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = WorkSpaceUtility()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

These are the directories that I would like to obtain and add to the comma-separated list:

Try this.

def PrintInfo(self):
    startNode = self.tvFolders.invisibleRootItem()
    lists = self.generateList(startNode)

    print lists

def generateList(self, node, children=[], path=""):
    path = os.path.join(path, node.text(0))

    for i in xrange(node.childCount()):
        files = self.generateList(node.child(i), children, path)
    children.append(path)

    return children

Feel free to tell me if I did something wrong, or if it's unclear.

EDIT: Ah, just realised you wanted the elements out of the treeview - the recursive function should be similar, but... sorry about that :/ Ok, after quickly installing pyside, and reading the docs, I've updated this with a version that should work.
