QTextEdit doesn't expose any actions of its own, so you will have to create
your own. Take a look at the Application example supplied with PyQt (in the
examples/mainwindows/application directory) for code to do this.

Sadly, default icons for actions are apparently not a feature common to all
platforms, so you'll need to find a source of those. Perhaps someone reading
can suggest a good source of suitably-licensed icons.
