How to handle double clicks with mouse?

[Morea]

I read in the docs that a double click generates a QMousePressEvent and a QMouseReleaseEvent.
How can this behaviour be controlled so that it doesn't do that?

But you still want the events in case of a single press/release? This would basically mean a delayed handling of every press/release event. There is no way of knowing by the time they occur if a double click is coming.
