sys.version == '2.3.3a0 (#3, Jul 20 2004, 10:32:48) \n[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-112.7.2)]' from ScrolledText import ScrolledText s = ScrolledText() s.pack() I wish to call bbox on the Text, but s.bbox is the surrounding Frame's bbox, and the Text's bbox method is lost. I suppose these lines from ScrolledText.py should be expanded to include 'bbox', but I have not tested such a fix: if m[0] != '_' and m != 'config' and m != 'configure': setattr(self, m, getattr(self.frame, m)) For special situations (of which bbox is probably *not* one), the Text methods should probably be available under something like s.text.bbox().
Logged In: YES user_id=127598 A workaround: s = ScrolledText() new.instancemethod(Text.bbox,s,s.__class__)(...) but, I actually have a subclass of ScrolledText, and I can't figure out how to use the workaround. class Foo(ScrolledText): ... def foo(self): ... ... new.instancemethod(tk.Text.bbox, self, self.__class__)("insert") TypeError: unbound method bbox() must be called with Text instance as first argument (got Foo instance instead)

Including it again there doesn't solve your problem. The actual problem is that Grid methods include the "bbox" as an alias to the Misc.grid_bbox method. One way to fix this is setting only the attributes that are not present in the Text class. The attached patch does that.
