If you're using a QTableView with your own model you need to implement the headerData() method in the model to return data for the header. Here's a snippet to show just column headings - change the header_labels value to change the header text.

class TableModel(QAbstractTableModel):

    header_labels = ['Column 1', 'Column 2', 'Column 3', 'Column 4']

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QAbstractTableModel.__init__(self, parent)

    def headerData(self, section, orientation, role=Qt.DisplayRole):
        if role == Qt.DisplayRole and orientation == Qt.Horizontal:
            return self.header_labels[section]
        return QAbstractTableModel.headerData(self, section, orientation, role)
