How can dynamically add headers to table in this pyqt5 app?

This code I have taken from https://bravo.hatenablog.jp/entry/2016/01/18/093059 .
In this I want to add header "Quantity" at run time if needed.
Before creating table it should ask for how many headers? If user supply 4 then create table with "Quantity" headers also. Otherwise create default headers (Three).
I have tried it but not found any solution.

How to extend Qt Widgets that do not have model support by default

CustomMenu class inherits from QMenu. Its custom setData() method accepts an argument and sets it to a class variable model. I did this because QToolButton, QToolMenu and QAction do not support model/view framework. From what I know aside from all QList-QTable-QTree Views and Trees only the QComboBox does support model.
So the question: would it be possible to extend the functionality of other non-model widgets so they could be used as driven-by-model widgets too?
from PyQt4.QtCore import *

This is what the QDataWidgetMapper class was designed for. The following blog has a great tutorial covering exactly how to implement it: http://www.yasinuludag.com/blog/?p=98
EDIT: I should add that QDataWidgetMapper works with QWidget and its subclasses, so QAction would not apply. For classes that are not QWidget or its subclasses, you might have to implement your own custom model-view binding.

How to assing model() to QListView

The code below creates a single QListView. An instance of MyClass (it is inherited from QAbstractListModel) is assigned to its self.setModel(self.model). If I click the view I can select the items in a list (so they do exist). But no names of the items displayed. How do I control how the QListView items are displayed?
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
app=QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
class MyClass(QtCore.QAbstractListModel):
def __init__(self):
super(MyClass, self).__init__()
self.elements={'Animals':['Bison','Panther','Elephant'],'Birds':['Duck','Hawk','Pigeon'],'Fish':['Shark','Salmon','Piranha']}
def rowCount(self, index=QtCore.QModelIndex()):
return len(self.elements)
def data(self, index, role=QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole):
print'MyClass.data():',index,role
class ListView(QtGui.QListView):
def __init__(self):
super(ListView, self).__init__()
self.model=MyClass()
self.setModel(self.model)
self.show()
window=ListView()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

I don't know how to use a dictionary for the elements, but using lists:
self.elements=['Bison','Panther','Elephant','Duck','Hawk','Pigeon','Shark','Salmon','Piranha']
You just have to return self.elements[index.row()] in the data() method. For instance:
class MyClass(QtCore.QAbstractListModel):
def __init__(self):
super(MyClass, self).__init__()
self.elements=['Bison','Panther','Elephant','Duck','Hawk','Pigeon','Shark','Salmon','Piranha']
def rowCount(self, index=QtCore.QModelIndex()):
return len(self.elements)
def data(self, index, role=QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole):
print'MyClass.data():',index,role
if index.isValid() and role == QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole:
return QtCore.QVariant(self.elements[index.row()])
else:
return QtCore.QVariant()

How to delete raw from .model

A code below creates a single QListView. Clicking its item should delete it from .model(). While an item gets deleted there is IndexError: list index out of range. What is wrong with the code?
import os,sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
app=QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
elements={'Animals':{1:'Bison',2:'Panther',3:'Elephant'},'Birds':{1:'Duck',2:'Hawk',3:'Pigeon'},'Fish':{1:'Shark',2:'Salmon',3:'Piranha'}}
class Model(QtCore.QAbstractListModel):
def __init__(self):
QtCore.QAbstractListModel.__init__(self)
self.items=[]
self.modelDict={}
def rowCount(self, parent=QtCore.QModelIndex()):
return len(self.modelDict)
def data(self, index, role):
if index.isValid():
if role==QtCore.Qt.ItemDataRole:
key=str(index.data().toString())
returnedValue=self.modelDict.get(key)
return QtCore.QVariant(returnedValue)
elif role==QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole:
row=index.row()
itemTitle=self.items[row]
return QtCore.QVariant(itemTitle)
def addItems(self):
for key in self.modelDict:
index=QtCore.QModelIndex()
self.beginInsertRows(index, 0, 0)
self.items.append(key)
inst=self.modelDict.get(key)
self.setData(index, QtCore.QVariant(inst), QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole)
self.endInsertRows()
def removeByIndex(self, index):
if index.isValid():
row=index.row()
self.beginRemoveRows(QtCore.QModelIndex(), row, 0)
self.items=[each for i,each in enumerate(self.items[:]) if i!=row]
self.endRemoveRows()
class ListView(QtGui.QListView):
def __init__(self):
super(ListView, self).__init__()
self.model= Model()
self.model.modelDict=elements
self.model.addItems()
self.setModel(self.model)
self.clicked.connect(self.itemClicked)
self.show()
def itemClicked(self, index):
itemTitle=self.model.data(index, QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole).toString()
itemData=self.model.data(index, QtCore.Qt.ItemDataRole).toPyObject()
print 'itemTitle: "%s" itemData: %s'%(itemTitle,itemData)
self.model.removeByIndex(index)
window=ListView()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

You were deleting rows without updating the rowCount; and latterly this led to empty elements where you were not supplying data. This works (note that I have removed the QVariants, for simplicity):
class Model(QtCore.QAbstractListModel):
def __init__(self):
QtCore.QAbstractListModel.__init__(self)
self.items=[]
self.modelDict={}
def rowCount(self, parent=QtCore.QModelIndex()):
return len(self.items)
def data(self, index, role):
if index.isValid():
if role==QtCore.Qt.ItemDataRole:
key=str(index.data().toString())
returnedValue=self.modelDict.get(key)
return QtCore.QVariant(returnedValue)
elif role==QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole:
row=index.row()
itemTitle=self.items[row]
return itemTitle
def addItems(self):
for key in self.modelDict:
index=QtCore.QModelIndex()
self.beginInsertRows(index, 0, 0)
self.items.append(key)
inst=self.modelDict.get(key)
self.setData(index, inst, QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole)
self.endInsertRows()
def removeByIndex(self, index):
if index.isValid():
row=index.row()
self.beginRemoveRows(QtCore.QModelIndex(), row, 0)
self.items=[each for i,each in enumerate(self.items[:]) if i!=row]
self.endRemoveRows()
class ListView(QtGui.QListView):
def __init__(self):
super(ListView, self).__init__()
self.model= Model()
self.model.modelDict=elements
self.model.addItems()
self.setModel(self.model)
self.clicked.connect(self.itemClicked)
self.show()
def itemClicked(self, index):
itemTitle=str(self.model.data(index, QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole))
print 'itemTitle: "%s"'%(itemTitle)
self.model.removeByIndex(index)

Multiple models crash

A code below create a window with QListView on a left side and QTableView on a right.
Using .setModel() QListView was assigned ListModel and QTableView was assigned TableModel.
On a window start-up only a List View gets populated with the items. A right-table-view gets populated only when left-side-list-view gets clicked.
Question: Why this code crashes? Is it because two models in use in the same time?

I can't reproduce your crash on PyQt v4.11.1, 32-bit Python 2.7, Windows 8.1.
However, your TableModel implementation is completely broken, so presumably that would explain why it crashes on your Mac?
Specifically:
The signature for beginInsertRows appears to be wrong. It doesn't follow the documentation here (linked to from the QAbstractTableModel page here). The signature is not beginInsertRows(parent, row, column) but rather beginInsertRows(parent, row, numRows).
The value for the row you are inserting to should be self.rowCount() as row indexing starts from 0. So when you have 0 items in your model, you insert to row 0 (the first row). When you have 1 item in your model, you insert into row 1 (the second row), etc.
The TableModel.data() method is broken. Specifically it appears to be missing the line key=str(self.items[index.row()])
My question would be, since you seem to be having trouble with models quite regularly (I feel like I've seen many questions on here from you in regards to implementing a custom model), why aren't you using the predefined Qt model QStandardItemModel which does all of the complex stuff for you? (You don't need to subclass it to use it)
If you want help translating the example you've posted above to using QStandardItemModel, please post a new question. I'm sure either I or someone else will answer it quickly.
