I've added a "keep at bottom" option to the scrolledtext class. This way, if a user wants to always see the text added via "insert()", it will be visible.

Do you mean something like this: import Tkinter def insert(): text.insert('end', 'buh\n') text.see('end') text.after(100, insert) text = Tkinter.Text() text.pack(expand=True, fill='both', side='left') vbar = Tkinter.Scrollbar(orient='vertical', command=text.yview) vbar.pack(side='right', fill='y') text.configure(yscrollcommand=vbar.set) text.after(100, insert) text.mainloop() (or change Tkinter by tkinter to work on python 3.x) Text.see already does what you want, can you argue why adding an option for that would be good ?

Just an ignorance issue, I supposed. I didn't realize that it was that simple. Still a novice at all of the methods available. In that case, the only advantage is in case you don't want to always manually set it to the end. No good reason to change it otherwise.

In this case I'm closing it.
