The text widget does not have a textvariable option. However, it does have a virtual event named '<<modified>>'. You can bind to this event, and you'll get a callback when the widget it modified. You'll only get the callback the first time that the widget is modified. If you want to get a callback every time the widget changes, then you'll have to reset the modified flag in your callback.
