| from Tkinter import *
| import tkMessageBox
|
| class Vue(object):
|     def __init__(self):
|         self.root=Tk()
|         self.root.title("test button visual state")
|         self.b1=Button(self.root,text="tkMessageBox.showinfo with bind
| :-(") #,command=self.showMsg)
|         self.b1.bind("<Button>",self.showMsg)

change this to :

           self.b1.bind("<ButtonRelease>",self.showMsg)

Problem is that a button "sinks in" when you press it and "springs back" when
you release it...

and the "Button" leaves it sunken.... - because when you release, the control is
no longer there
