A table view has the following two delegate methods defined

    def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row):
        # Called when a row was selected.

        # this is implemented in ListDataSource
        pass

    def tableview_did_deselect(self, tableview, section, row):
        # Called when a row was de-selected (in multiple selection mode).

        # this is NOT implemented in ListDataSource...
        pass

It looks as though the ListDataSource object only implements the first one, so I am not able to determine when multiple selection is enabled in edit mode, after the user may select and deselect any rows, what rows remain selected.

Has anyone come across this issue before?

The listdatasource source code is pure python. You can extend it, and implement the deselect method, or else just monkey patch it in.

Extending it worked perfectly. Thanks
