Qt for Python (PySide/Shiboken)

This evening I read the Model/View programming manual. It left me with more questions than answers. First, is there any way to get the code examples in python? I have a very limited understanding of C++ syntax. Also, I understand the Model doesn’t care about the structure of the underlying data, but it can define the indexes of the data for use by the View. You can also have different Views of the same Model. You can also use a Selection in a View to select specific data & then base another View on that Selection. I can understand the logic somewhat, and in some ways, it seems that pandas wouldn’t be needed except maybe for data manipulation, slicing, calculations, etc. is there anything else I can read to get a better understanding of where M/V starts & pandas begins & vice versa?
