[PyQt] programatically select item in QListView

[supik]

Hi everyone ..

I'm trying show two relational data in two separate QlistView. I'm not 
sure if this is best way, but my program workt fine with this QListView.

Now I want - after fill model with data and show dialog - the first item 
in first listview to be "selected" .

I was read lot of qt stuff, stacowerflow discussions, but still have no 
idea how to do it

class imgmtui( QtGui.QDialog ):
     def __init__(self,  Parent=None):
         self.config = Parent.config
         super(imgmtui,  self).__init__()
         try :
             import magic
             self.magic_imported = True
         except :
             self.magic_imported = False
             self.show_magic_warnings()

         self.ui=uic.loadUi('UI/image_management.ui')
         self.pathmodel = QtGui.QStandardItemModel()
         self.imagemodel = QtGui.QStandardItemModel()

         for pathname, pathdata in self.config.pathdb.iteritems() :
             pathitem = QtGui.QStandardItem( pathdata['path']
             pathitem.setEditable( False )
             self.pathmodel.appendRow( pathitem )

        self.ui.listView_paths.setModel( self.pathmodel )

so .. and now to do selection... my attempts crash on various errors, 
for example
     self.ui.listView_paths.selectionModel().select(0)  --- crashes 
selectionModel() is nulltype
and I have no idea, how to initialize this ... Also, my English is not 
perfect, and understanding tons of qt - related names an relation 
between them is very difficult for qt newbie as me ..

Can you help me with this problem ?
Thanks
