Sure:

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> r=Tk()
>>> t=Text(r)
>>> t.pack()
>>> a=t.get("1.0",END)
>>> a
'Wibble\nWibble\nFoo\n'

The method get() takes Tk-style indexes. There's more information
about just how they (and the rest of Tkinter) work in Fredrik Lundh's
excellent An Introduction to Tkinter. It's at:
