PyQt5 - Fail to display QTableWidgetItem data if previous cell have same value?

[Saelyth]

Stubborn me want to keep you guys informed of my newbie research advances.

Test Script for python where you can see the bug (easier for you to execute and see yourself than me trying to explain in english):

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QWidget, QAction, QTableWidget,QTableWidgetItem,QVBoxLayout
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
from PyQt5.QtCore import pyqtSlot, Qt
 
class App(QWidget):
 
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title = 'PyQt5 table - pythonspot.com'
        self.left = 200
        self.top = 200
        self.width = 800
        self.height = 200
        self.initUI()
 
    def initUI(self):
        self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
        self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)

        self.layout.addWidget(self.tableWidget) 
        self.setLayout(self.layout)

       # Create table

Which pretty much says (your bug is on the loop). I still don't know what causes it but getting closer . Any hint?

Edit + FIX: I am retard.... it actually seems that it was a python noob fail all this time. registros.index(dato) was always returning the first index if it's a duplicated (0). I've been coding on python 4 years and never realized about this, hence I though it was a Qt issue.

Fix: replace "for dato in registros:" and add "for index, dato in enumerate(registro):" instead.

My apologies guys, thread can be closed.

registros.index(dato) was always returning the first index if it's a duplicated (0).

Sort of makes sense though - if you are asking to look up something by value, and that value is duplicated, how should it know you want the second one and not the first? The only way to give that information is with a second argument to index() that tells it where to start, something like index( value, startIndex ).
