New to Glade/Pygtk

[Wood, Keith]

Hi, group!
I'm sure this is an FAQ, but: I have been working with Python for a few years 
but not with GUI interface.
I'm trying to get a simple script going that I can use to build on 
functionality later.
Right now I just want to send a character string to a GtkScrolledWindow 
"text_view"
So later I can pipe standard input to python and have it show up in a GUI 
window so a user can read it at leisure  and close it when done.
If anyone has any insights on this and/or can suggest some textbooks I could 
read on the subject I'd be more than happy!
Thanks for your time.
:)
K.W.
