I came across this recently. Putting widgets into the textview was not
an option as it was too complex to keep updated as the user edits.

The best solution I found was to just draw directly onto the view
through the expose-event using drawable.draw_line etc.

One gotcha: make sure the exposed window is the text window. i.e. that
it equals textview.get_window(gtk.TEXT_WINDOW_TEXT)
