Something like this would do it:

 def btn_handler(self, AddBtn=None, EditBtn=None):
     if AddBtn:
         return "You pressed Add!"
     if EditBtn:
         return "You pressed Edit!"

Alternatively you could use a kwargs dictionary and test it for the
presence of the "AddBtn" or "EditBtn" keys.
