For this kind of stuff, I'd try to put "self.out.WriteText(string)" in 
some 'Idle' event, which avoid to fall in focus loops or other objects 
events management problems not easy to solve.

Did you try something like that :

def write(self, string):
     self.outBuffer= string
def onIdle(self,event):
     if self.outBuffer != None:
         self.out.WriteText(self.outBuffer)
         self.outBuffer= None
