To start editing of an item, you need call this slot of the view (not the model!):

myView.edit(index);

You can also set the new value directly via QAbstractItemModel.setData. The role for this defaults to Qt.EditRole which is the same role used by the views when editing has been finished:

myModel.setData(index, newValue);

where index references the item you want to edit.

You can create such a QModelIndex by asking the model:

myModel.index(row, column); # for a root item
myModel.index(row, column, parent); # for a children of "parent"

So, for example, if you want to set the third item in the second root item to "foo", write:

index1 = myModel.index(2, 1);
index2 = myModel.index(3, 1, index1);
myModel.setData(index2, "foo");
