[PyKDE] QTable cell color - better way ?

[Dave S]

As a relative newbe to GUI & QT programming I am trying to get various 
background colours for a QTable call. Extensive googling & headscratching has 
come up with re-defining paint() for each color. This seems like a lot of 
code & I wondered if there is a more elegant way ? A kind of 
self.table1.setColor(row, col, color) would be nice - or is this the only 
way :)

class TableItemRed(QTableItem):
    """ Red background table item"""
    def __init__(self, table, edittype, text):
        QTableItem.__init__(self, table, edittype, text)

    def paint(self, painter, colorgroup, rect, selected):
        cg = QColorGroup(colorgroup)
        cg.setColor(QColorGroup.Base, Qt.red)  # Base = background color of 
text widgets
        QTableItem.paint(self,painter, cg, rect, selected)  # Qt.colors in 
Qcolor

class TableItemYellow(QTableItem):
    """ Yellow background table item """
    def __init__(self, table, edittype, text):
        QTableItem.__init__(self, table, edittype, text)

    def paint(self, painter, colorgroup, rect, selected):
        cg = QColorGroup(colorgroup)
        cg.setColor(QColorGroup.Base, Qt.yellow)  # Base = background color of 
text widgets
        QTableItem.paint(self,painter, cg, rect, selected)  # Qt.colors in 
Qcolor
