PySide - PyQt : How to make set QTableWidget column width as proportion of the available space?

Question

I\'m developing a computer application with PySide and I\'m using the QTableWidget. Let\'s say my table has 3 columns, but the data they contain is very different,

Answer 1

This can be solved by setting the resize-mode for each column. The first section must stretch to take up the available space, whilst the last two sections just resize to their contents:

PyQt4:

header = self.table.horizontalHeader()
header.setResizeMode(0, QtGui.QHeaderView.Stretch)
header.setResizeMode(1, QtGui.QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)
header.setResizeMode(2, QtGui.QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)

PyQt5:

header = self.table.horizontalHeader()       
header.setSectionResizeMode(0, QtWidgets.QHeaderView.Stretch)
header.setSectionResizeMode(1, QtWidgets.QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)
header.setSectionResizeMode(2, QtWidgets.QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)
