Yes, but it's c++ ancestor behaves different in this respect. It 
displays it's editor on double click of the status field. Do you
have an idea, where this difference come from?

Thanks for clarification. Got it.

Sorry for my stupidity. Attached is a corrected version, derived from table4
example, because it's more likely, that one want it to do this way.

It reveals another problem. The mapping, handled in StatusPicker.statusId
and setStatusId doesn't work at all. They aren't called either. In the
c++ header of this class, there is an dubious line:

Q_PROPERTY( int statusid READ statusId WRITE setStatusId )

How do we handle this in PyQt?

BTW, on experimenting with right click inserts, I ran into database key errors.
Here is, what I did to fix them:
mysql> use testdb
mysql> alter table staff change id id1 int AUTO_INCREMENT;
mysql> alter table staff change id1 id int AUTO_INCREMENT;
