that's a bit more brute-force than it has to be; a better (but less
obvious) way is to "override" the insert and delete commands at
the widget implementation level.
see Lib/idlelib/Percolator.py for a helper class, and sample code
(the actual overriding is done in the WidgetRedirector.py module
in the same directory)

the cursor is represented by the INSERT mark, so
text.mark_set(INSERT, position)
possibly followed by
text.see(INSERT)
should do the trick.
