How can i create a terminal like design using tkinter

Question

I want to create a terminal like design using tkinter. I also want to include terminal like function where once you hit enter, you would not be able to change your previous lines of sentences. Is it even possible to create such UI design using tkinter?

An example of a terminal design may look like this:

Hmm..interesting.. IDLE is a terminal and is written in tkinter(I may be wrong) — P S Solanki, Sep 10 '20 at 05:45
@Cool Cloud, I have not tried anything so far yet as I don't even know where to start. I am thinking of building it using textbox — DJ ShankyShoe, Sep 10 '20 at 05:59
@DJShankyShoe, that would be good way to start. Binding to do the execute the written line will be the next step. — Adarsh TS, Sep 10 '20 at 06:00
You can use `Text(root,bg='black',fg='white')` for the design — Delrius Euphoria, Sep 10 '20 at 06:40

According to my research, i have found an answer and link that may help you out

Firstly i would like you to try this code, this code takes the command "ipconfig" and displays the result in a new window, you can modify this code:-

import tkinter
import os
def get_info(arg):
    x = Tkinter.StringVar()
    x = tfield.get("linestart", "lineend") # gives an error 'bad text index "linestart"'
    print (x)
    
root = tkinter.Tk()
tfield = tkinter.Text(root)
tfield.pack()
for line in os.popen("ipconfig", 'r'):
    tfield.insert("end", line)
tfield.bind("<Return>", get_info)
root.mainloop()

And i have found a similar question on quora take a look at this
