Thanks for your reply Andreas,
I can find nothing about QModelText, and QModelTest appears to have a 
few bug reports and
nowhere to download it and no instructions as to how to run it, and is 
not on my hard disks.

So here are the model and view:

# coding=utf8
#  companyListModel.py   class of CompanyList
import couchdb
from couchObject import CouchObject
import json
from PyQt4.QtCore import *   # so no internal routines starting with Q!
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
import pprint

class CompanyListModel(QAbstractTableModel,CouchObject):
     ''' a company list holds data from a view of Companies '''

     def __init__(self):
         ''' initialise - read the view ready '''
         CouchObject.__init__(self)
         QAbstractTableModel.__init__(self)
         self.view = self.loadView('by_name')

     def rowCount(self, parent = None):
         ''' return No of rows of data. parent is a QModelIndex '''
         return len(self.view)

     def columnCount(self, parent = None):
         ''' return number of columns. parent = QModelIndex()
            id, name, cubref, address, town, contacts
         '''
         return 6

     def data(self, index, role):
         ''' return data as QVariant at index.row and index.col '''
         key = self.view.rows[index.row()].key
         idx = index.column()
         if  idx < len(key):
             val = key[idx]
             if val is None:
                 return QVariant()
             return QVariant(val)
         return QVariant()

     def all_fields(self):
         ''' return list of fields in view'''
         return [
             '_id',
             'name',
             'cubref',
             'street',
             'town',
             'contacts'
         ]

     def headerData(self, col, orientation, role):
         ''' return the header data '''
         if orientation == Qt.Horizontal:
             tab = ['Name','Cub Ref','Street','Town','Contacts']
             if col < len(tab):
                 return tab[col]
         return None
