[PyQt] Problem using signal beforeInsert

[bar tomas]

Many thanks for your help. I've corrected the code following your
suggestion, but the test method still does not get called, although
new records get submitted to the database:

self.model = QSqlRelationalTableModel(self)
self.connect(self.model, SIGNAL("beforeInsert(QSqlRecord *)"), self.test)

def test(self, record):
       print "test"

I was wondering, it is the QSqlRelationalTableModel object that emits
the beforeInsert signal, or have I got that wrong?

Thanks again
