Take a look at the IDLE source cocde. IDLE's interactive shell is
essentially what you want - a python interpreter insode aTkinter 
window...

If you were using wxPyton then the WxPy package has a shell
component that you could have used, but I don't know of any such
component for Tkinter. However it might be possible to re-use
the IDLE code...
