The widget you need is tk.Text. You could create the widget with the following lines in self.init:

self.text = tk.Text(self)
self.text.pack()

Then you can use the insert method to add text to it. The Text widget keeps track of a cursor and you have to say where to insert text into it. For example, to insert some text into the end of the box you could use:

self.text.insert(tk.END, "Some text here")

or in your program:

self.text.insert(tk.END, re.sub(r'<[^<>]*>','', m))

Instead of the Text widget you could also use ScrolledText from tkinter.scrolledtext. This gets you the scrollbar for free. Import it:

import tkinter.scrolledtext as tkst

and instantiate the widget in init:

self.text = tkst.ScrolledText(self)
