Как создать фильтры для QTableView в PyQt

Вот пример фильтрации в PyQt с использованием QSortFilterProxyModel, QStandardItemModel и QTableView, его можно легко адаптировать к другим представлениям и моделям:

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Чтобы получить требуемые результаты, всплывающее меню запускается щелчком по заголовку и заполняется уникальными значениями для этого столбца. После выбора элемента во всплывающем меню значение передается в self.proxy.setFilterRegExp(filterString), а столбец — в self.proxy.setFilterKeyColumn(filterValue).
