This is not an answer to your question, rather how to use the checkboxes once you have them. I used the example above from the answer marked as correct. It worked, but then when I tried to find how to know which checkboxes were marked, and I had a lot of issues. After a lot of searching I found a solution that worked for me, as I see there is no a lot of doc, so I want to leave a record for the future. Just to mention I used several solutions as invisibleRootItem in order to find the children of the parent but that didn't work.

I ended up using the class QTreeWidgetItemIterator with a flag QtGui.QTreeWidgetItemIterator.Checked in order to retreive the text of the checkboxes marked, and with that, I can continue working.

def vrfs_selected(self):
    iterator = QtGui.QTreeWidgetItemIterator(self.tree, QtGui.QTreeWidgetItemIterator.Checked)
    while iterator.value():
        item = iterator.value()
        print (item.text(0))    
        iterator += 1
