Are you just asking how to make a Text widget for every item in a list? 
  Pile([Text(x) for x in liste])

The best way of handling debugging at the moment is to use the python 
logging module to log to a file.  printing will disturb urwid's output.

There is some interesting work going on in this area, however. 
Hopefully Andrew will have some code to post soon.
