[pygtk] dynamic treestore

[alex goretoy]

This is essential what I am looking to do, but it doesn't work. I appreciate
your response.

>>> gtk.TreeStore( str * 5 )
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'type' and 'int'
>>> gtk.TreeStore( [str] * 5 )
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: could not get typecode from object
>>> a = [str] * 5
>>> a
[<type 'str'>, <type 'str'>, <type 'str'>, <type 'str'>, <type 'str'>]
>>> gtk.TreeStore( a )
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: could not get typecode from object

Thank you,
-Alex Goretoy
