This is a fairly robust implementation of the dump
command for the text widget. It supports all the
options of the underlying Tk command. This patch is
relative to version 2.2.1.

A quick test suggets that you don't parse the dump output
correctly. I entered "The quick brown fox jumps over the
lazy dog.\n" into a text widget, and then called
t.dump("1.0", "2.0"). It returned the following garbage:

[('text', '{The', 'quick'), ('brown', 'fox', 'jumps'),
('over', 'the', 'lazy'), ('dog.}', '1.0', 'mark'),
('current', '1.44', 'mark'), ('anchor', '1.44', 'mark'),
('insert', '1.44', 'text'), ('{', '}', '1.44')]

It looks like you don't parse the curly braces at all.

Maybe you can find someone on c.l.py to help you fix this?

What an embarassing mistake! I've attached a new version
that uses a callback function to build the result list
instead of trying to parse a string with Tcl quoting in it.
It seems to work correctly when there are spaces and other
magic characters in the results.

Guido, care to try this again?  Looks like you're the only one 
to try in 2 years!

Guido had already committed this as Tkinter.py 1.162, on
2002/04/23. Closing it as accepted.
