Yeah, I didn't mention the lambda option.  I was thinking about 
designing a framework meant for beginners, and I'd rather stay away from 
lambdas.  I'm surprised no one is even proposing support for anonymous 
code blocks in Python that support multiple lines, similar to what Ruby, 
Java, and other languages have.

Right, that is the subclass example I mentioned in the original note, 
but I didn't spell it out:
class MyButton(Button):
     def OnClick(self,event):
         print "you clicked me"
b = MyButton()
I already know that will work, and that is what I would use myself, and 
it is more elegant than lambdas.  I was just looking to see if anyone 
had a hack for anonymous code blocks, but thankyou for your help.
