10The :mod:`ScrolledText` module provides a class of the same name which
11implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do
12the "right thing."  Using the :class:`ScrolledText` class is a lot easier than
13setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly.  The constructor is the same
14as that of the :class:`Tkinter.Text` class.

16.. note::
17
18   :mod:`ScrolledText` has been renamed to :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` in Python
19   3.0.  The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when converting
20   your sources to 3.0.

22The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a :class:`Frame`, and the
23methods of the :class:`Grid` and :class:`Pack` geometry managers are acquired
24from the :class:`Frame` object.  This allows the :class:`ScrolledText` widget to
25be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.

28available:
