Supposing you have no tags, you could do:
text.get('1.0', 'end') # text is your text widget
The first parameter is the index1 specifying where to start looking for text,
and the other parameter is the index2, where to stop looking for text (one
before it). Lines are numbered from 1 and columns from 0, that is why I used
'1.0' (which is accepted as an index), and 'end' is an special index which
indicates the end of the text.
