I'm working with the PySide2 edition of the book and I'm not getting the correct alignments in tableview_format_3.py or tableview_format_4.py

It seems to be a PySide2 bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-20

I had to change the code from return Qt.AlignVCenter | Qt.AlignRight to return int(QtCore.Qt.AlignRight | QtCore.Qt.AlignVCenter)

edit: my current setup is: Win10, Python 3.8.6 and PySide2 5.15.0

Hi @luis welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the heads up and the workaround -- the handling of these flags is one of the few things really noticeably different between PyQt5 & PySide2 (the two versions of the books differ quite a bit in this chapter) so I'll get a note about this in the next PySide2 update.

Even once it's fixed, this workaround will still be fine, so don't worry about using it in projects.

Well done, you've finished this tutorial! Mark As Complete
