from ScrolledText import ScrolledText
s = ScrolledText()
s.pack()

I wish to call bbox on the Text, but s.bbox is the
surrounding Frame's bbox, and the Text's bbox method is
lost. I suppose these lines from ScrolledText.py should
be expanded to include 'bbox', but I have not tested
such a fix:

            if m[0] != '_' and m != 'config' and m !=
'configure':
                setattr(self, m, getattr(self.frame, m))

For special situations (of which bbox is probably *not*
one), the Text methods should probably be available
under something like s.text.bbox().

A workaround:

s = ScrolledText()
new.instancemethod(Text.bbox,s,s.__class__)(...)

but, I actually have a subclass of ScrolledText, and I can't
figure out how to use the workaround. 

class Foo(ScrolledText):
...  def foo(self):   
... ... new.instancemethod(tk.Text.bbox, self,
self.__class__)("insert")

TypeError: unbound method bbox() must be called with Text
instance as first argument (got Foo instance instead)

bbox is already there, that is the problem. Including it again there
doesn't solve your problem. The actual problem is that Grid methods
include the "bbox" as an alias to the Misc.grid_bbox method.

One way to fix this is setting only the attributes that are not present
in the Text class. The attached patch does that.

This has been fixed on r74507 now.
