How to Determine Which Button is Clicked in tkinter

Are you having difficulty figuring out which button was clicked in your tkinter application? You're not alone! This common issue causes confusion among many developers. When you click a button in your tkinter app, it may not always display or output the expected result. In this guide, we'll break down the problem and provide you with effective solutions to ensure that each button click behaves as intended.

The Problem

In a scenario where you want to create a simple user interface with buttons, you might find that regardless of which button you click, the outcome is not what you expect. You might see the same output for all buttons, such as always getting 9 as the output when you click any of them. This happens due to how Python handles variable scopes within loops, which can lead to unexpected behavior.

Example Code

Let's take a look at the provided code snippet to illustrate the issue:

In this example, regardless of which button you click, the output will always be 9. This happens because the value of i is not captured at the moment the button is created; instead, it references the current value of i after the loop has completed.

The Solution

To solve this issue, you can use one of the following methods to correctly capture the button's index:

Method 1: Using functools.partial

The functools module provides a convenient way to "freeze" some portion of a function's arguments, which allows you to set them when creating the buttons. This approach utilizes the partial function:

Method 2: Using a Lambda Function with Default Value

Alternatively, you can use a lambda function with a default argument. This method captures the current value of i at each iteration of the loop:

Conclusion

By implementing either of these methods, you can ensure that clicking on the buttons in your tkinter application produces the correct output, specific to the button being pressed. These solutions will help you avoid confusion and enhance the functionality of your GUI applications.
