QDataWidgetMapper with relational model and qcomboxes working of relations

Heads up! You've already completed this tutorial.

Has anyone gotten something like this to work? https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/overviews/qtsql-sqlwidgetmapper-example.html#sql-widget-mapper-example

Tried but not having any luck and their examples are not in python just the same snippets from C++ which while is kinda helpful not actually useful as it does not have full working example can just translate and make work.

All of the fields work and show values except the qcomboboxes for "SSH Key Name", "SSH Config Name", and Group(SSH Group Name) .

python
self.ssh_key_name = QComboBox()
self.ssh_config_name = QComboBox()
self.ssh_group = QComboBox()

QDataWidgetMapper with relational model and qcomboxes working of relations was written by Martin Fitzpatrick .

Martin Fitzpatrick has been developing Python/Qt apps for 8 years. Building desktop applications to make data-analysis tools more user-friendly, Python was the obvious choice. Starting with Tk, later moving to wxWidgets and finally adopting PyQt.
