Qt 4.8 Address Book Example - Part 1

The following code is based on the Qt Address Book Example, one of their ItemViews Examples.  The example uses  QTableView, QTabWidget and QSortFilterProxyModel to display entries grouped alphabetically on tabbed pages.



The conversion from C++ to PyQt4 is given here in 5 parts; the last includes two modifications to the original code.

The example consists of six C++ classes: Main, MainWindow, AddressWidget, TableModel, NewAddressTab, AddDialog and their corresponding header files.

Part 1 implements the Main and MainWindow classes with stubs for the AddressWidget class.  Note that Main is not implemented as a separate class in Python and that all classes are defined in one module file.

'''
    PyQt4 conversion of Qt Address Book (Tabbed) Example
    
        The address book example shows how to use proxy models to display 
        different views onto data from a single model.
        
        This example provides an address book that allows contacts to be 
        grouped alphabetically into 9 groups: 
            ABC, DEF, GHI, ... , VW, ..., XYZ. 
        This is achieved by using multiple views on the same model, each of 
        which is filtered using an instance of the QSortFilterProxyModel class.
          
    BEHAVIOUR:
    =========
        Basic application shell and menus created. Menu items, other than
        Exit, are not fully functional.
    
    NOTES:
    =====
    The application is based on five classes:
        Mainwindow
        AddressWidget
        TabelModel
        NewAddressTab
        AddDialog
        
    The original C++ is an example rather than a tutorial; each class
    occupies its own file with associated include files.
    
    Here the application is built up, starting with MainWindow
    stubs for the other classes are defined as encountered, to be 
    implemented in later steps.

Qt 4.8 Address Book Example - Part 2

    NOTES:
    =====
        Implemented initialisation methods in AddressWidget
        which required the implementation of the TableModel
        and NewAddressTab classes.

        The Qt version of TableModel uses a list of QPair
        objects; QPair is not implemented in PyQt4; a 'list
        of lists' in the form:
            [ [str, str], [str,str], etc.]
         is used instead.

Qt 4.8 Address Book Example - Part 4

In Part 4 the remaining methods in AddWidget (editEntry(), removeEntry(), loadFromFile() and writeToFile() ) are implemented and the example, as given in the C++ code, is complete.

'''
    PyQt4 conversion of Qt Address Book (Tabbed) Example
    
        The address book example shows how to use proxy models to display 
        different views onto data from a single model.
        
        This example provides an address book that allows contacts to be 
        grouped alphabetically into 9 groups: 
            ABC, DEF, GHI, ... , VW, ..., XYZ. 
        This is achieved by using multiple views on the same model, each of 
        which is filtered using an instance of the QSortFilterProxyModel class.
          
    BEHAVIOUR:
    =========
    All menu options are working; users can Add, Edit, and Remove
    entries.
    
    NOTES:
    =====
    In AddressWidget:
        implement editEntry() - QModelIndexList is not implemented in PyQt4
        implement removeEntry(), writeToFile(), loadFromFile()

Qt 4.8 Address Book Example - Part 5

In this last part, two private methods, not included in the original example, have been added to the AddressWidget: _revName() and _switchTab() and the addEntry() and _setUpTabs() methods have been modified to accomodate their use.

_revName() was created to allow the Address Book entry names to be sorted, and displayed, based on last, rather than first, names.

_switchTab() was added to flip the active tab to the tab containing the newly added name.



#!/usr/bin/env python3

'''
    PyQt4 conversion of Qt Address Book (Tabbed) Example
    
        The address book example shows how to use proxy models to display 
        different views onto data from a single model.
        
        This example provides an address book that allows contacts to be 
        grouped alphabetically into 9 groups: 
            ABC, DEF, GHI, ... , VW, ..., XYZ. 
        This is achieved by using multiple views on the same model, each of 
        which is filtered using an instance of the QSortFilterProxyModel class.
          
    BEHAVIOUR:
    =========
    Entries are sorted on their last names.
    When a new entry is added, the display switches to the tab
    containing the entry
    
    NOTES:
    =====
    AddressWidget
        - added private method _revName(name), called by addEntry()
          to put the input name into Last Name, First Name order so 
          sort occurs on last name
          
        - added private method _swtichTab(name), called by addEntry()
          to switch to the tab of the newly entered name. Required
          changing 'groups' list in _setUpTabs() to a private
          attribute self._groups
          
        - modified _removeEntry() to switch to 'Address Book' tab
          if their are no entries
