[wxPython-users] is there an example of a "widget" that reads a file onto it?

Have you seen the ticker in the demo?  Sounds like that might do it for
scrolling text.  It uses a textCtrl.  You can just read a text file in the
normal Python way, and set what text you want as the value of the textCtrl,
and use that textCtrl in the ticker.
