[PyQt] Resizing rows to contents after sort when QSortFilterProxyModel is used

[Steve Waterbury]

OMG!  Finally stumbled across the answer tonight while reading about
QAbstractItemModel ... it has a signal I hadn't noticed before:
layoutChanged() -- all I had to do was connect that signal of
my QSortFilterProxyModel to my tableview's resizeRowsToContents,
boom, done!  Table view is pretty after the sort -- woo!

Note to self:  RTFM (as always ... but in all fairness, it's a
*big* FM ... ;)

Hope this is useful to someone else.

Cheers,
Steve
