tkinter/commands help

[Arun Ramanathan]

oops! I am sorry,
my text was actually initialized like this

mytext = Text(root,width='40',height='25')
mytext.pack(side=BOTTOM,fill=X)


I mistyped it as text instead of mytext in my previous posting.

I tried
def callme():
      import time
      result = str(time.time())

It does work. Every time I hit the button.
