Yes you can edit cells. QTableWidget implements it's own data model. 
QTableView does the same but you supply the model - either a standard one or 
one you have written. A standard one is QSqlDataModel so creating a table 
that allows you to maintain the contents of an SQL table is about a dozen 
lines of Python.
