self.verticalLayout.itemAt(i).widget().close_all()

This code is likely part of a method in a PyQt5 or PySide2 application that is iterating through all the items in a vertical layout and calling a "close_all" method on each widget.

The "close_all" method is likely a custom method defined by the developer of the application and is responsible for closing or hiding any child widgets or other resources associated with the widget.

Without more context or information about the specific application, it is difficult to provide more details on what this code is doing or how it is being used.
