[PySide] simple QTableView example

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

one more silly question if I may:
So if I have a task like this:
         newTask = {'title':'new task', 'priority':1, 'status':False}

and need to store the data in one row in the model I should use three 
different items, one for each value, right?!

e.g.:

         newTask = {'title':'new task', 'priority':1, 'status':False}
         row = self.model.rowCount()
         for column, attr in enumerate(['title', 'priority', 'status']):
             newItem = QtGui.QStandardItem(newTask[attr])
             self.model.setItem(row, column, newItem)

then juggle delegates or widgets to use a spin box for the integer and a 
checkbox for the boolean...

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
frank
