The easy way to do this is to use a defrault parameter in a lambda: submittext = ">>> " for i in range (1, 11): b = Button(text=submittext, command = lambda n=i: self.showButton(n)) b.rid(column=4, row=i+4) submitlist.append(b) Notice the button creation line now uses a lambda with default parameter set to i. That lambda calls your method but now passes in the value of i for that button. (You need to modify your method to accept that value of course!)
