Dear Paul,

I suspect that you could use an object with a __call__method.  You
could store the state when creating the object and have the __call__
method take the arguments that Pmw supplies. Something like this might
work:

class callbackObject:
  def __init__(self,thePlayer):
    self.thePlayer=thePlayer
  def __call__(self, text, factor, increment):
    # Do something involving those arguments
    # and self.thePlayer
    return 42

Regards,
Matt
