tkinter text widget typeError

Question

I have a problem with a typeError in tkinter. I wrote this tiny test program to illustrate my problem:

from tkinter import *

window = Tk()

Text(window, width=67, height=10).grid()
Text.insert(END, "test")

window.mainloop()

When I run the program, I get this error:

TypeError: insert() missing 1 required positional argument: 'chars'

However, I have no idea what this argument is. It is not said or used in any tutorial I see ( effbot for example)

I'm sure there is something really simple I'm overlooking, but I can't find it for the life of me.

Thanks in advance for any help!

You haven't set your text widget to a variable, even if you had grid returns None so it still wouldn't work:

from tkinter import *
window = Tk()
my_text = Text(window)
my_text.grid()
my_text.insert(END, "test")
window.mainloop()
