When creating an item instance (or a subclass thereof) you need to pass three things:

kind.newItem() seems to work for me, but I'm curious in exploring the python-constructor method further, if only to understand how it works:
I've had no luck passing in a view parameter, I still don't get default attribute values from the Kind.. but your last bullet makes me think that I need to pass in a kind manually. You mention that its optional, but if I don't pass one in, what Kind gets hooked up?

For example, try this in PyCrust (Test -> Show Pycrust debugger):
>>> import wx >>> view = wx.GetApp().repository.view >>> import osaf.contentmodel.ItemCollection >>> ic = osaf.contentmodel.ItemCollection.ItemCollection(view=view)
Since the ItemCollection class (in parcels/osaf/contentmodel/ItemCollection.py) has its myKindPath attribute set to "//parcels/osaf/contentmodel/ItemCollection" and is a subclass of ChandlerItem, the constructor determines the right kind to use. Its initial values are all set as well.
