I guess you start it from a command line? Why not use eric's built in
support for starting your script?

Anyway executing the script via ./<script> should work fine if the
script is executable and the proper python is used. But the
script you included below doesn't contain any shebang.

This doesn't look normal and it doesn't happen here with the example
from below. So there musst be some error in your application.

What you want is called a Layout, see the Qt documentation for more
information.

I don't understand what your goal is? Do you want to replace an existing
item with a new text? Then use changeText with a proper index. If you
want to insert a new item at a specific position give an index number to
the insertItem call. If you want something completely different, I think
you should show us some code.
