The correct number of rows get created in the grid, so I don't think the
problem is with the list.  Rather, it is with the objects in the list and
the ability to get the attributes of those objects.  But I don't know why
this should be a problem.  Especially with a text column, since any Python
object/attribute can be represented as text.  So hopefully it will be easy
to fix.  Thanks for your help.
