[Urwid] How do you use SimpleListWalker?

[Dominic LoBue]

Sorry, I meant the .widget attribute in the convContainer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but methods are the only way to work with
shared data in an instance implicitly, right? While I suppose that I
could make a method that returns the widget with the data needed, that
could create a new copy of the data set every time it was used,
wouldn't it?
