MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Working with DateTime custom columns programmatically?

Thanks Charles/Kovid,

I stupidly did not realise it actually was a datetime object I had - unfamiliar with what print() produces for python for this unfortunately. So that side of things is fine now, thanks.

I am looking into the delegates stuff. One thing that I have never properly got my head around, is the Qt way of doing models/views. I made an attempt with my Plugin Updater plugin, but in every other situation for my relatively simple plugin usage I have just found life to be an awful lot easier to directly populate the QTableWidget.

Which now possibly leaves me with a potential problem with trying to use CCDateDelegate (and I will want to use RatingDelegate as well) as I have no "model" of my own.

Am I correct in thinking I am going to have to create a model and do it that way to use those delegates?
