Change your source code from 

# wrong
button = Tkinter.Button(..., command=some_function(),...)

to

# correct
button = Tkinter.Button(..., command=some_function,...)

to pass the *function* to the widget instead of the *result* of a function
call. And, next time, remember to post some code alongside with your
question.
