[PyQt] Problem getting QItemDelegate to work

[David Hirschfield]

Didn't get any response yesterday...wondering if I didn't give enough 
information?
Even a working example in python of a table or list view using 
QItemDelegate subclasses to display persistent editors would be enough 
to get me going...I just can't seem to get it to work right.

Thanks,
