Since this is obviously a PyQt issue you would be best asking on a
Qt or SIDE forum. However most UIs have a Text control(*) that you
can insert text into. So look for a method of your control
called something like insert() or put() or maybe even write().

(*)I'm assuming your QtGui.QPlainTextEdit() is the Qt version.
What methods does it have?
