PyQt 4.2 QAbstractTableModel/QTableView Example

from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
import sys

my_array = [['00','01','02'],
            ['10','11','12'],
            ['20','21','22']]

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = MyWindow()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

class MyWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        QWidget.__init__(self, *args)

        tablemodel = MyTableModel(my_array, self)
        tableview = QTableView()
        tableview.setModel(tablemodel)

        layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
        layout.addWidget(tableview)
        self.setLayout(layout)

class MyTableModel(QAbstractTableModel):
    def __init__(self, datain, parent=None, *args):

Thats great. Now I finally understand how it works. Thanks!

But this fragment doesn't work with the latest stuff:

File "D:\my\py\test7.py", line 42, in data return QVariant() TypeError: PyQt4.QtCore.QVariant represents a mapped type and cannot be instantiated

Add this to the top of the file to make it run using PyQt version 4.7.3

import sip sip.setapi('QVariant', 1)
