[PyQt] question re: QVariant formatting in QTableWidgetItem

[Brian Gyss]

All:

I'm having some issues changing the formatting of a number in a
QTableWidgetItem.  It seems that whenever I feed any sort of number
with non-zero digits in front of a decimal point into the QVariant
type, the QTableWidgetItem will always display the formatting to 6
digits in a specific format.

For example, a number like this:

10454.450432

will always be depicted like this:

10,454.4

when the specific item is inserted in a table.  Also, I need to use
QTableWIdgetItem.setData() in order to insert the numeric data or else
the numbers in the table are not sortable.

Do I have to subclass either QVariant or QTableWidgetItem in order to
change the formatting of how numbers are depicted inside of
QTableWidget cells, or is there a more succinct way of doing this?

Thanks!

- Brian
