Keeping a record of which nodes I have open ending up being slow, and 
there were other problems with the full
refresh option that turned me off to it.  So I started to look into 
doing a single full update in the beginning, and
then pulling incremental updates which update my underlying data.

Question now is, I can update the data no problem.  How can I find out 
what indexes to use when emiting a dataChanged signal
if I update the underlying data in an elementtree ?


class TreeModel( QtCore.QAbstractItemModel ):
   
    def __init__(self, show ):
        QtCore.QAbstractItemModel.__init__(self)
        self.__columns = [ ]   
        self.__data = Data(show,self)
    
    def addColumn(self,label,tag):
        """addColumn(String label, string Tag)
       
        """
        self.__columns.append( [QtCore.QVariant(label),tag] )
  
    def data(self, index, role):

        if role != DISPLAY_ROLE:
            return EMPTY_VARIANT
       
        if not index.isValid():
            return EMPTY_VARIANT

        el = index.internalPointer()
        return QtCore.QVariant( el.get(self.__columns[index.column()][1]) )
   
    def headerData(self, section, orientation, role):
        if orientation == QtCore.Qt.Horizontal and role == DISPLAY_ROLE:
            return self.__columns[section][0]
        return EMPTY_VARIANT

    def index(self, row, column, parent):
        if parent.isValid():
            item = parent.internalPointer()
        else:
            item = self.__data.rootNode
           
        return self.createIndex(row, column, item[row])
   
    def parent(self, index):
        if not index.isValid():
            return EMPTY_INDEX
       
        item,row = self.__data.parentMap[index.internalPointer()]
       
        if id(item) == id(self.__data.rootNode):
            return EMPTY_INDEX
        else:
            return self.createIndex(self.__data.parentMap[item][1],0,item)
   
    def rowCount(self, parent):
        if parent.isValid():
            item = parent.internalPointer()
        else:
            item = self.__data.rootNode
       
        return len(item)
   
    def columnCount(self, parent):
        return len(self.__columns)
