Dreaming in Python, eh? Maybe you should take a break. ;-) Sure, quoting the link below: "You can put an image or bitmap into a text widget. It is treated as a single character whose size is the natural size of the object." You can also embed any Tk widget in a Tk Text widget, including ImageTks and widgets with bitmaps.
