It's a lot more flexible and easier to manage to append objects (I use dictionaries) to the store and then use a data_func to display the data. Also, If you have large amounts of data, consider implementing the UI with ListStoress instead of TreeStores. GTK's TreeStore is just not very efficient for large datasets. > 2. have an independent data storage.

Depends on how much data you have and how much the user is expected to display at any one time. You would probably want to implement some kind of lazy loading for a large dataset if they user will only be accessing a small part of it at any one time.
