OK, here is a simple example that will show you what i want to do. Right now if you type print 'hello' in the entry and press <enter> you will see braces in the label "{}". But if you type sys.stdou.write ("hello") you will see "{hello}" in the label. So i got the stdout piping to the widget now, but it will not work with the print statement. AND there are those braces around the string??? Any ideas?
