Python/Tkinter: How to set text widget contents to the value of a variable?

Question

I am writing a program to assist with a trivial part of my job that can be automated. My purpose here is to:

1. Copy and paste a chunk of plain text into a Tki

Answer 1

I think what you want is this, it will delete all the text, then insert a variable.

def set_input(value):
    text.delete(1.0, "END")
    text.insert("END", value)

Python 2.x only, 3 requires that "END" be END from the Tk namespace.
