This may be really obscure, but I had a dream about programming
something like this, so don't blame me. Is it possible to take a small
image or icon and display it as a character in a Tk text box? Think
how Thunderbird displays text smilies as actual smiley icons. Or how
in AIM as you type a smiley, it replaces it with the picture. Does
anyone know how to display these specifically in a Tk text box? Thanks.

Dreaming in Python, eh? Maybe you should take a break. ;-)
Sure, quoting the link below: "You can put an image or bitmap into a
text widget. It is treated as a single character whose size is the
natural size of the object."
You can also embed any Tk widget in a Tk Text widget, including
ImageTks and widgets with bitmaps.

I am a greenhorn in wxPython, so please don't bet on what I state here,
but to my current knowledge wxPython doesn't come with a widget capable
of what Tkinter text box is capable of. But wxPython comes e.g. with a
widget displaying any HTML content, so if you need only to display and
not edit things it is a perfect one to use if you need to mix text with
images and control elements.
