I also dislike lambdas for this purpose. I'd recommend that the original
poster build a class - many ways they could go with this, but here is one
rough sketch (haven't checked for syntax errors, etc.):
class PageButton(Button):
def __init__(self, master, text=None, page_number=0):
self.page_number = page_number
self.text = text
if not self.text:
self.text = 'Page #' + str(self.page_number)
Button.__init__(self, master, text=self.text,
command=self.switch_tabs)
self.master = master
def switch_tabs(self):
# do whatever is required to switch tabs here, using self
to reference the button and self.page_number to reference the page
XT=[]
# command to create a new button
XT.append(PageButton(T, page_number=len(XT)))
