no, it would mean writing some python code.  if all you need is a scrolling
text list, you can simply use the code on this page:

    http://effbot.org/zone/wck-4.htm

(see "A scrollable list view, with scrollbar support" and, optionally,
the virtual data modifications under "Displaying Huge Data Sets")

the resulting widget will update at constant speed, independent of the
data size.
