pack() retirns None, YOu *must* use two steps:

text = Text(....)
text.pack()

> button=Button(root,text="Click here!!",command=p_text).pack()
> root.mainloop()

Because your text variable contains None, which doesn't support get...

Don't worry, its one of the most common Tkinter mistakes and
bites most folks at some stage...
