I've hacked the dirview.py script and got it working. I don't know exactly
what's happening, but things seem to go wrong when there's only one
argument to QListViewItem.__init__() (self doesn't count - it goes 
wrong when there's nothing but parent):

The followin is instructive:

Attempt 1:

class File(QListViewItem):

  def __init__(self, parent, *args):
    print parent, args
    apply(QListViewItem.__init__,(self, parent)+args)

class Directory(File):
  def __init__(self, parent, name=None):
    apply(File.__init__,(self,parent))
    if isinstance(parent, QListView):
      self.p = None
      self.f = '/'
    else:
      self.p = parent
      self.f = name
    self.c = []
    self.readable = 1

No joy, can't create QListViewItems with no text.

Attempt 2:

class File(QListViewItem):

  def __init__(self, parent, *args):
    print parent, args
    apply(QListViewItem.__init__,(self, parent)+args)

class Directory(File):
  def __init__(self, parent, name=None):
    apply(File.__init__,(self,parent,name))
    if isinstance(parent, QListView):
      self.p = None
      self.f = '/'
    else:
      self.p = parent
      self.f = name
    self.c = []
    self.readable = 1

Perfect little app ;-)...
 
Now I'm going to look where things go wrong with kpybrowser...
