If I try to make a simple application that will print the letters A to
Z to a Tkinter Text widget, and I space the printing of each letter by
1 second, it seems no text will appear in the Text widget until the
method exits.

The term "scripting language" is a pretty misunderstood one these
days. I hold the opinion that what it is supposed to mean can, today,
apply to any language. C, even, is a scripting language. All any of
our software today is doing is calling out to some other component

I'm trying to replace the built-in base exception class with a subclass
of itself in python 2.5 because we can no longer add attributes to that...
