Reading text files in GUI entry fields

I'd like to know of a way to read a text file and add its contents into a text box. I am doing this in tkinter, so I'd need to get the text in Python, and put it into the text box using tkinter, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

You would use with and open to open the file and then Text.insert to put its contents in the textbox.

Below is a basic demonstration:

from Tkinter import Text, Tk
r = Tk()
t = Text()
t.grid()
with open("/path/to/file") as myfile:
    t.insert("1.0", myfile.read())
r.mainloop()
