Sorry, I think I didn't explain that very well.  Here's an example instead:

   model = gtk.ListStore(str, int)
   model.append(('home', pango.WEIGHT_NORMAL))
   model.append(('work', pango.WEIGHT_BOLD))
   view = gtk.TreeView(model)
   view.insert_column_with_attributes(0, 'Title', gtk.CellRendererText(),
                                      text=0, weight=1)

The first *model column* is the text, the second is the font weight. 
The *view* contains only a single column, but it's attached to both 
model columns to set the text and weight used by the cell renderer.
