PyQt4 QTableWidget-从mySQL数据库过滤和修改数据

Question

I'm new to PyQt4 and I'm wondering how to filter QTableWidget data pulled from a MySQL database. I was using a QSqlTableModel and I could filter that data easily but I don't like to update the database through a QSqlTableModel. Essentially, I would like the QTableWidget to automatically re-populate as I type search data. I looked at an example in PyQt4 on my Windows machine called "Basic Sort/Filter Model." It does what I want, however, the example uses a QTreeView and I'm using a QTableWidget. Any help would be appreciated.

In order to filter data you need to wrap your model in a QSortFilterProxyModel . The QTableWidget uses a default model that you can't change, so to use the QSortFilterProxyModel you need to use a QTableView instead.

Here is a tutorial on how to use the QSortFilterProxyModel.
