Answer 1

QListWidget is a class of higher level that makes the developer can handle it easily, for example QListWidget has a model of type QStantandardItemModel that can not be accessed, in addition to built the QListWidgetItem to handle the data, as you have seen is simple add data through functions like addItem() or addItems().

On the other hand QListView, from which QListWidget inherits, is of lower level, where you can customize many things, using custom models, etc.

You can use both:

QListView

self.listView = QtGui.QListView(Dialog)
self.listView.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("listView"))

entries = ['one','two', 'three']

model = QtGui.QStandardItemModel()
self.listView.setModel(model)

for i in entries:
    item = QtGui.QStandardItem(i)
    model.appendRow(item)

self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.listView, 1, 0, 1, 2)

QListWidget

self.listwidget = QtGui.QListWidget(Dialog)

entries = ['one','two', 'three']

self.listwidget.addItems(entries)

self.gridLayout.addWidget(self.listwidget, 1, 0, 1, 2)
