If I understand you correctly, what you describe is what I think that
tag bindings are supposed to do. I tried the following:
from Tkinter import *
c = Canvas()
c.pack()
def test(ev):
... print 'foo'
...
c.tag_bind('tag_foo', '<1>', test)
c.create_rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100, fill='blue', tags=('tag_foo'))
1
foo
foo
foo
foo
The "foo"s at the end of the snippet are of course from clicking the
blue rectangle. The point here is, that the tag-binding is obviously
active without any items being created, and I believe that is exactly
what it is for; if you want the binding to be removed when the item is
deleted, you should bind to the item-id instead, or maybe use
tag_unbind() to remove the bindings.
I hope this helps

You are too smart. I've only been goofing with this stuff for about 7
years. Looking through my code I now understand that I didn't know
anything. :) I've been binding to the tag in some places and to the
"ID" of the create_x item in others. NOW I get it! That's exactly
what was going on. A big thanks!
