Question

This prints the default option configuration for the Text widget. Would it be possible to get this information without instantiating the Text widget class?

import Tkinter as tk
import pprint

root = tk.Tk()

text = tk.Text(root)
text.pack()

pprint.pprint(text.configure())

root.destroy()
root.mainloop()

Answer 1

No, it is not possible. It’s quite acceptable to instantiate the class then destroy the widget once you have the information you need.
