You can use the event object that's created in the call. Swap your specific 
text widget call for the calling widget so the code becomes:

def onSelectAll(self, event=None):
    event.widget.tag_add(SEL, '1.0', END+'-1c')
    event.widget.mark_set(INSERT, '1.0')
    event.widget.see(INSERT)
    ...
The event object contains a lot of data on the calling widget. If this 
function is never called from anything other than a text widget (which it 
doesn't look like it will) then there'll be no problems.
HTH,
Paul
