+:mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` --- Scrolled Text Widget
+====================================================
+
+.. module:: tkinter.scrolledtext
+ :platform: Tk
+ :synopsis: Text widget with a vertical scroll bar.
+.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
+
+
+The :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` module provides a class of the same name which
+implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do
+the "right thing." Using the :class:`ScrolledText` class is a lot easier than
+setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly. The constructor is the same
+as that of the :class:`tkinter.Text` class.
+
+The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a :class:`Frame`, and the
+methods of the :class:`Grid` and :class:`Pack` geometry managers are acquired
+from the :class:`Frame` object. This allows the :class:`ScrolledText` widget to
+be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.
+
+Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are
+available:
+
+
+.. attribute:: ScrolledText.frame
+
+ The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.
+
+
+.. attribute:: ScrolledText.vbar
+
+ The scroll bar widget.
