I don't understand.  Why can't you just say:

        self.insertItem('apple', self, self.apple)
        self.insertItem('orange', self, self.orange)

How is that different from connecting to self.handleChoice, as you do below?  
As far as I know, PyQt can take a Python callable anywhere it's appropriate 
to use a receiver and a slot.

Am I wrong?
