PyQt - QTableView doesn't respond dataChanged signal?

Question

QSqlQueryModel is a great database model, but it is read only. So I rewrite its setData() and flags() method. Now, I can edit my database

Answer 1

See how if this model works for you:

class sqlTableModel(QSqlTableModel):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(sqlTableModel, self).__init__(parent)

    def setData(self, index, value, role=Qt.EditRole):
        if role == Qt.EditRole:
            value = value.strip() if type(value) == str else value

        return super(sqlTableModel, self).setData(index, value, role)

    def flags(self, index):
        itemFlags = super(sqlTableModel, self).flags(index)

        if index.column() != 0:
            return itemFlags | Qt.ItemIsEditable

        return itemFlags ^ Qt.ItemIsEditable #  First column not editable

Instead of setQuery, to set the table I would have something like this in the main class:

def setDatabase(self, nameDatabase):
    self.database = QSqlDatabase.addDatabase("QSQLITE")
    self.database.setDatabaseName(nameDatabase)

    return self.database.open()

def setTable(self, nameTable):
    self.model = sqlTableModel(self)
    self.model.setEditStrategy(QSqlTableModel.OnManualSubmit)
    self.model.setTable(nameTable)
    self.model.select()

    self.view.setModel(self.model)

def saveTable(self):
    if self.model.submitAll():
        return True

    self.model.database().rollback()
    return False
