Tkinter lambda function

by

Change

lambda: select(b.cat, b.value)

to

lambda b = b: select(b.cat, b.value)

In your original code, b is not a local variable of the lambda; it is found in enclosing scope. Once the for-loop is completed, b retains it last value. That is why the lambda functions all use the last button.

If you define the lambda to take one argument with a default value, the default value is determined (and fixed) at the time the lambda is defined. Now b is a local variable of the lambda, and when the lambda is called with no arguments, Python sets b to the default value which happily is set to various different buttons as desired.
