Yes.

The exact binding for <Tab> is written in Tcl and varies between releases
of Tk.

The correct way to expose the binding for <Tab> on the "all" widget tag is

t = Tkinter.Tk()
...
t.bind_class("Text", "<Tab>", "# Nothing")

You'll find more information on bindings in Tk's own manpages.  These two
manpages are especially relevant:
    http://tcltk.free.fr/man/TkCmd/bindtags.php3
    http://tcltk.free.fr/man/TkCmd/bind.php3
though these may not correspond to your version of Tcl/Tk.  You may already
have a copy of the manual installed, depending on your OS and how you
installed the Tcl/Tk packages.
