And the problem is: add_text_widget() defines a local (function-wide)
`text` object rather than a class-wide one.  Just prepend the `text`
object with `self.` and it will be solved.  Also, if you are planning
to use more than one of those, you will need to do it in another way.
Bonus question: why py3k?
