I subclassed QListViewItem to provide a place to stash some data.  I
printed self.firstChild() to confirm that it is a MyListViewItem.  I
did dir(QListViewItem) to confirm that there really is no attribute
setEnabled.  Here's the code that calls setEnabled():

class MyListView(QListView):
[...]
    def getSelections(self):
[...]
        for thing in self.things:
            lvi = MyListViewItem(self, thing['data'])
            for col, key in zip(range(len(self.keys)), self.keys):
                lvi.setText(col, thing['text'])

        self.setSelected(self.firstChild(), True)
        self.firstChild().setEnabled(True)  # produces AttributeError

class MyListViewItem(QListViewItem):
    def __init__(self, parent, data):
        QListViewItem.__init__(self, parent)
        self.data = data

    def getItemData(self):
        return self.data

I am using python 2.4 (the kopsis package).
