Hi,

I'm trying to put together a QTreeView using the Model/View programming but using either the Python Object class or QObject class as the data. It seems that neither can be passed around as MIME/QDataStream data for the drag and drop functionality. This looks the be a limitation of the PyQt implementation and not of Qt itself. Would be great if the documentation explicitly mentioned that they didn't implement Q_DECLARE_METATYPE() functionality under QMetaType instead having dead links to the method.

The current implementation seems to only support a small subset of PyQt classes (QStringList and a couple others) These are no good for handling objects with a lot of custom attributes.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully done this before and what the trick is? Do you have any example code? There was mention of supporting arbitrary Python objects and QDataStream in the PyQt roadmap but no mention of when it might be completed. I understand that it won't be included in PyQT 4.5.

I really hope that I am overlooking something as my application hinges around this. The model/view programming seems great for simple stuff but falls apart quickly for more high level uses. Someone must have figured this out before!?

Cheers,
-Scott Ballard
