Others may have a different opinion, but I think using MVC to do a text
editor is a bit overkill. Basically, the only operation needed on the
model are reading and writing of the file, so a basic Python file object
will be OK. Considering that, and since the Tkinter Text widget is
basically already a full-featured text editor, the controller part is also
quite limited. You could do it however, but it would just be a matter of
moving the methods called by the bindings to a secondary class. If what
you're doing is just a text editor, it may not be worth the effort.

Having an MVC architecture for a text editor may be a good idea if the
file objects have to interact with other objects at a "functional " level,
i.e without any impact on the GUI. If what you're doing is only a text
editor, i.e only managing text files, the advantages of such an
architecture won't really show up...
