Use a multi-line text-input widget (available on any widget library)

To open a file in python for reading:
filepointer = file('path/to/file', 'r')

then read it like this:
for line in filepointer:
    dosomethingwith(f)

or:
filecontent = filepointer.read()

To open a file for writing:
filepointer = file('path/to/file', 'w')

to write to a file:
filepointer.write(somestring)
