[Solved] QTableView reflected in every tab PyQt

DisappointedIdealist

I don't know but I have too many files. I am gonna place a link to download the src. Don't know if it's against the ToS or not.

More details:
Platform: windows x64
you might need Impacket/pcapy modules
can be found here -> http://breakingcode.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/quickpost-updated-impacketpcapy-installers-for-python-2-5-2-6-2-7/
Thanks!

UPDATE: To induce the problem, just create new tab, then click on sniff, then create another tab, you will see the new tab has the same result as the other tab. I tried it with tablewidget, worked fine. So is something wrong with my implementation?
UPDATE2: start with proposal.py

tobias.hunger

Are all the views connected to the same model? If that is the case, then changing something in one view will change all the others as well.

DisappointedIdealist

Nope, I create a new model in each tab.
Through my code, New tab -> creates new frame.InnerTab -> which creates Sniffer6.Sniffy() ->which I initiate a new model in it.
and that happens with every tab.
Thanks!

Hi there, sorry for the delay in replying, I've only just had to time to look through your code.

The problem you are having is nothing to do with views, its actually to do with the default arguments you are passing to the initialiser of your table model (snifferModel.tableModel). You have the following:

@
...
def init(self, result=[], headers=[]):
super(tableModel, self).init()
self.result=result
self.headers.headers
...
@

The thing you need to understand about python is that default arguments to functions/methods are mutable and are only evaluated once at definition not each time the function/method is called. This means that every time this initialiser is called each instance of the model class gets the same instance of the default list and, as you never call this method with anything but the default argument for result, every instance of your model is referring to the same list. You can find a really good explanation of this behaviour "here":http://effbot.org/zone/default-values.htm.

In the short term, the solution to your problem is a simple rewrite of your initialiser as follows and your problem is solved:

@
def init(self, result=None, headers=None):
super(tableModel, self).init()
self.result=result or []
self.headers=headers or []
@

This will set your instance variable to the value of the function argument or create a new list if it is None.

Hope this helps ;o)

Oh wow, I never knew they were mutable. Didn't even occur to me, your solution does work great! Thank you!!
Also, while just another quick question ( I am just taking advantage of you here, hope u don't mind)
I get this error:
QObject::startTimer: QTimer can only be used with threads started with QThread
From what I was able to get, it's okay, cause the garbage collector just closes them in a messy order when I close the application?

Do you get this error when you exit your application or while its running? If it happens on exit then yes, it is to do with garbage collecting. It usually occurs because an item (widget, model, view etc.) has not been given a parent and is therefore owned by python/PyQt rather than Qt itself. Whilst its probably not the end of the world if this happens it would be better practice to track down the source and prevent it especially as giving widgets a parent is generally a good idea anyhow.

At exiting of the application. It happened when I used the model/view from this example(so probably from my Model since I used parts of it in my code). Even when running this example I get the error after closing all windows.

Yep, its the problem I described. If you reimplement the last part of the example as follows, where the views and model are given a parent (in this case a containing QWidget), the application exits quietly:

@
...
if name == 'main':

class Widget(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None, **kwargs):
        QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent, **kwargs)
        l=QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)

        #ALL OF OUR VIEWS
        listView = QtGui.QListView(self)
        l.addWidget(listView)

        comboBox = QtGui.QComboBox(self)
        l.addWidget(comboBox)

        tableView = QtGui.QTableView(self)
        l.addWidget(tableView)        
        
        red   = QtGui.QColor(255,0,0)
        green = QtGui.QColor(0,255,0)
        blue  = QtGui.QColor(0,0,255)

        rowCount = 4
        columnCount = 6

        headers = ["Pallete0", "Colors", "Brushes", "Omg", "Technical", "Artist"]
        tableData0 = [ [ QtGui.QColor("#FFFF00") for i in range(columnCount)] for j in range(rowCount)]
       
        model = PaletteTableModel(tableData0, headers, self)
        model.insertColumns(0, 5)
        
        listView.setModel(model)
        comboBox.setModel(model)
        tableView.setModel(model)

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
w=Widget()
w.show()
w.raise_()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Ah okay, thank you!

DisappointedIdealist

Hey, I am sorry to bother you, but I tried to give everyone a parent, and I think they do?
(from my src code)
@def init(self, parent=None , **kwargs):
QWidget.init(self, parent, **kwargs)
layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
self.lv = snifferView.view()
layout.addWidget(self.lv)
self.setLayout(layout)

    headers = ['No','Source','Destination','Protocol']
    
    self.model = snifferModel.tableModel(headers=headers)
    self.lv.tableView.setModel(self.model)
    self.resultList = []
    self.hexDump = ''
    self.count = 0
    self.lv.tableView.selectionModel().selectionChanged.connect(self.rowSelected)
