Mysterious tkinter bug: tk.Button doesn't think it passed event <1>

That is, the function the event is passed to receives the event and can even print the address of the event object, but a callback later produces an error suggesting that no event was actually passed to the function. Also, tk.Label handles '<1>' without problem. What gives?

For a start, you're binding buttonHandler1 to button1 twice:

1. Passed via the 'command' keyword on line 13.

2 Via 'bind' on line 14.

In 1, no argument will be passed. The handler you've defined expects an
argument, so there'll be an exception, although the program will
continue afterwards.

In 2, an event argument will be passed.
