Extending the Tkinter.Text widget works great here, give it a write 
method and optionally scroll to the inserted text too...


class STDText(Text):
   def __init__(self, parent):
     Text.__init__(self, parent)

   def write(self, stuff):
     self.insert("end", stuff)
     self.yview_pickplace("end")

root=Tk()
sText = STDText(root)
sText.pack()

sys.stdout = sText


root.mainloop()
