Easy is a relative word.

Have you read the main tutorial on this topic?

http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-TreeViewWidget.html

I'm pretty rusty on this now but basically something like this:

self.model = gtk.TreeStore(gobject.TYPE_STRING)
for name in resourceNames:
     iter = self.model.append(None, name)

self.view = gtk.TreeView(self.model)
self.view.set_model(self.model)

# connect to the selection mechansism to enable/disable action buttons
self.selection = self.view.get_selection()
self.selection.connect('changed', self.enableButtons)

cell = gtk.CellRendererText()
col = gtk.TreeViewColumn('Resource', cell, text=1)
self.view.append_column(col)

def enableButtons(self, treeSelection):
     model, iterator = treeSelection.get_selected()
