This is a tkinter based console that can be run from within python.
This code originally came from the site little fantasy world's python collection (scroll most of the way down to Console.py) and was originally written by Ka-Ping Yee ping@lfw.org, on 18 April 1999 and released into the public domain.
It has since been updated to be able to run in a seperate thread concurrently with existing execution.
