OK. This doesn't sound right.

Did you create the delegate in a way that stops it from being garbage
collected and subsequently deleted on the C++ side? In other words,
did you store the instance somewhere, or create it with a parent QObject?

I'm guessing that you did, otherwise you wouldn't see your editor in the
previous situation. :-/

I would like to see more code before declaring something wrong with
setItemDelegateForColumn() in either Qt or PyQt.

from PyQt4 import pyqtconfig
hex(pyqtconfig._pkg_config["pyqt_version"])
hex(pyqtconfig._pkg_config["qt_version"])

You might want to make this editable, too.

Hope this helps,
