Tkinter - Canvas Text Object Auto-Scroll

I'm working on a Tkinter application with a Canvas and a create_text object drawn on top of this Canvas.

This text object word wraps automatically through the width property. However, I would like this text to automatically clip the top line of the text when the text object wraps to a 4th line.

So go from this:

 aaaa
bbbbbb
 cccc
dddddd <- incoming new text

To this:

bbbbbb
 cccc
dddddd

Any good way to do this?

You can simply scroll the Text widget.

See the code here: https://github.com/decadenza/blondieautoscroll

No, there is no way to cause canvas text items to clip the way you want.
