Here is an example of filtering in PyQt using QSortFilterProxyModel, QStandardItemModel and QTableView, it can be easily adapted to other views and models:

self.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
self.label.setText("Regex Filter")
self.model = QtGui.QStandardItemModel(self)

if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
main = myWindow()
main.show()
main.resize(400, 600)
sys.exit(app.exec_())
To get required results, a popup menu is launched by clicking on the header, and populated with the unique values for that column. Once an item in the popup menu is selected, the value is passed to self.proxy.setFilterRegExp(filterString) and the column to self.proxy.setFilterKeyColumn(filterValue).
