[Urwid] How do you use SimpleListWalker?

[Ian Ward]

This is just class inheritance.  ThreadedMessageWalker is a ListWalker 
you can use to store your conversation objects.  If you pass it to a 
ListBox, the ListBox will display the .widget members of your 
conversation objects, instead of trying to use the conversation objects 
themselves as a widgets.
