I'm not familiar with tkinter syntax, but why not: b1=Button(f, text='char1', command=lambda: insert_char(1)) b2=Button(f, text='char2', command=lambda: insert_char(2)) or even: b1=Button(f, text='char1', command=lambda: insert_char(u"\u20ac")) b2=Button(f, text='char2', command=lambda: insert_char("... some other char...")) Seems weird to multiplex like that, but if there's a good reason for it, sure. I'm more of a GTK person than tkinter, and more of a command-line guy than either of the above.
