Hmm, there must have been an update to that tutorial after you read it:

"""
>>> b1 = Button(win,text="One")
>>> b2 = Button(win,text="Two")


The class Button takes the parent window as the first argument. As we will
see later other objects, such as frames, may also act as parents. The rest
of the arguments are passed by keyword and are all optional.
