Python Tkinter Text-Widget滚动到特定行

Question

Issue:

• Loading a code-file from the harddrive into a text-widget created by tkinter (may be larger than xxx lines)
• Finding a position within this text-widget (line/column)
• Scrolling the text-widget to that exact position

So far I could not find any way to scroll to a specific line in a Tkinter text-widget. Since Tkinter always uses the line/column (eg "1.0") notation to identify positions in the text-widget, isn't there a way to directly scroll to a given position?

So far I tried setting the yview directly:

textWidget.yview("scroll", scrollamount, "units")

But that seems very unclean to me to use the "units" here...

Looking for a clean solution. Thanks.

Answer 1

>>> help(Tkinter.Text.see)
Help on method see in module Tkinter:

see(self, index) unbound Tkinter.Text method
    Scroll such that the character at INDEX is visible.

To make sure line 3 is visible do:

textWidget.see('3.0')
