I posted a `Command' class that solves this a while ago, here it is
again:

class Command:
    def __init__(self, func, *args, **kw):
        self.func = func
        self.args = args
        self.kw = kw

    def __call__(self, *args, **kw):
        args = self.args + args
        kw.update(self.kw)
        apply(self.func, args, kw)

then do this:

command=Command(myCallback, thisbutton)

The class given is rather general, and I'm not quite sure if my
precedence for the keyword arguments makes sense.  As you won't use
the keyword arguments this won't matter.
