def _onAnyOfMyButtons_(self, event):
   theResponsibleButton = event.GetEventObject()
   return

This way you only need *one* handler for hundreds of buttons.

You could derive your own button so that you could write:

def _onAnyOfMyButtons_(self, event):
   theResponsibleButton = event.GetEventObject()
   theResponsibleButton.writeYourDataToMyControl(self.t1)
   return

Or if your subclassed button own an attribute 'index':

def _onAnyOfMyButtons_(self, event):
   theResponsibleButton = event.GetEventObject()
   self.t1.SetValue("Button %d was pressed. " % theResponsibleButton.index)
   return
