have you tried Tkinter's built-in _register method? >>> import Tkinter >>> w = Tkinter.Tk() >>> help(w._register) Help on method _register in module Tkinter: _register(self, func, subst=None, needcleanup=1) method of Tkinter.Tk instance Return a newly created Tcl function. If this function is called, the Python function FUNC will be executed. An optional function SUBST can be given which will be executed before FUNC. >>> def func(): ... print "Hello" ... >>> name = w._register(func) >>> name '10768336func' >>> w.tk.call(name) Hello 'None' </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
