[PyQt] Trouble reading a model index from an "untouched" combo box

[Demetrius Cassidy]

Just took a peak at QAbstractItemView class and your right it's fully 
implemented. The view is asking the selectionModel what the current 
selected index is, and if it has no selection model (not sure if that's 
even possible) it returns an invalid QModelIndex. QComboBox.currentIndex 
is just asking the QSqlTableModel for the row. It doesn't hurt to make a 
1 line code change to test it out. I use QComboBox.currentIndex in my 
app, though I have no need to change the model in QComboBox.
