i’m starting to learn Qt for python and as i was wondering after reading this post :
qt – pyqt QTableView not populating when changing databases. if there was a way to use SQLAlchemy sessions instead of (re-)opening a database connection as a Table Model with Qt’s QTableView widget.

Something that would work a little bit like that :

databasePath = "base.sqlite" # used for production

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///' + databasePath, echo=True)

# initializing session :
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()

# Set up the user interface from Designer.
self.setupUi(self)

self.model = QSqlTableModel(self)
self.model.setTable("records")

self.model.setSort(FILEORDER, Qt.AscendingOrder)

self.model.setHeaderData(ID, Qt.Horizontal, QVariant("ID"))
self.model.setHeaderData(NAME, Qt.Horizontal, QVariant("Name"))
self.model.select()

self.tableView.setModel(self.model)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as well as new ways to think about this problem.

Thank you

    Take a look at Camelot . It does much more:)

    I happily found it when the frustration and angst, generated by Q*View and Q*Model experience forced me to start implementing my own ones on the basis of SqlAlchemy. And it was half implemented, when I found the instrument, that does much more, than I’ve even dream of, struggling with QSqlRelationalTableModel.
