import sys      
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QListWidget, QListWidgetItem


class ListWidgetDemo(QListWidget):

        self.resize(500, 500)
        self.setStyleSheet('font-size: 35px;')

        jan = 'Janaury'

        mar = 'March'
        apr = 'April'
        may = 'May'
        jun = 'June'

        # add one item at a time

        # self.addItem(QListWidgetItem(jan))
        self.addItem(feb)

        # add multiple items
        self.addItems([apr, jun])

        # add item based row position
        self.insertItem(2, mar)
        self.insertItem(4, may)

        self.itemDoubleClicked.connect(self.getItem)

    def getItem(self, lstItem):
        print(self.currentItem().text())
        print(lstItem.text())
