AFAIK PyQt has it's own documentation also for version 3, which
shouldn't contain any C-stuff.

No "*" means "pointer to". This translates to a reference in python,
i.e. the method signature in python is:

insertItem(self, QListViewItem)

so you need to provide a QListViewItem. However normally you'd just
create a new QListViewItem with the QListView as parent and your text
and be done with it.

Well, QTextEdit has a log-mode IIRC, that might be easier to use.
