I have a QTextEdit subclass with black background, python syntax
highlighting and line numbers here:

http://code.google.com/p/pybotwar/source/browse/editor.py


But for just the background part:

from PyQt4 import QtGui

class TE(QtGui.QTextEdit):
    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QTextEdit.__init__(self)
        pal = QtGui.QPalette()
        bgc = QtGui.QColor(0, 0, 0)
        pal.setColor(QtGui.QPalette.Base, bgc)
        textc = QtGui.QColor(255, 255, 255)
        pal.setColor(QtGui.QPalette.Text, textc)
        self.setPalette(pal)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    widget = TE()
    widget.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
