I just mean, define an ordinary function of no arguments that does what you want. For example, the calculator program I linked to has this Button: tk.Button(root,text='1',width=5,relief=tk.RIDGE, command=lambda: click('1')) That could be written as def click1(): click('1') tk.Button(root,text='1',width=5,relief=tk.RIDGE, command=click1) Notice there are no parentheses after 'click1' in the Button definition; you are passing the actual function to the Button.
