Best to avoid redundancy altogether if you can by directly using your objects. You can put the actual objects in the ListStore and then set the cell contents using a callback as described in the FAQ. http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=show&file=faq13.029.htp This is the easiest way to do it, but you lose interactive searches (which must be on a text column in the TreeModel.) Or you can write a custom TreeModel that returns values from your objects. This is more work since you have to write all the model methods and are responsible for sending out the right signals when the model changes.
