[Tutor] Shortening the code of a finsihed program.

Alright. Sorry if I should know this, but what is a pastebin web site and 
how do
I paste my program into a pastebin web site?

Why is it restricting?

Oh, now I understand why I shouldn't post like this. My apologize, won't 
happen again.

I got a really good tip earlier on in the thread how I could make my program
dramatically shorter. I have tried to implement a couple of things I need
into that piece of code, but I cannot get it to work.

So I figured I could post it here (short code) and ask you a couple of 
questions
regarding the code:


import tkinter as tk
from functools import partial

def button_clicked(button):
    if button["bg"] == "green":
        button.configure(bg="red", text="01")

    else:
        button.configure(bg="green", text="01")



class Window(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        super (Window, self).__init__(master)
        self.grid()
        self.create_widgets()


    def create_widgets(self):
        list_chair=[(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 3), (0, 4), (1,0)]
        for row, column in list_chair:
            button = tk.Button(self)
            command = partial(button_clicked, button)
            button["command"] = command
            button.grid(row=row, column=column)
            command()


root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Test")
root.geometry("200x200")
app = Window(root)
root.mainloop()


Questions:

--I want the first button to be created to have the text "1". The second 
should have the text "2".
  The third the text "3" and so on.

--When the first button is pressed I want a file to be created with the name 
Germany_France_1.
   The text in the file should be Germany_France_1.
   If/When the button is pressed again it should delete the file.

  When the second button is pressed I want a file to be created with the 
name Germany_France_2.
   The text in the file should be Germany_France_2.
   If/When the button is pressed again it should delete the file.

  When the third button is pressed I want a file to be created with the name 
Germany_France_3.
   The text in the file should be Germany_France_3.
   If/When the button is pressed again it should delete the file.



Do you have any idea on how I can accomplish this? I reached the conclusion 
that it should be
easy to do so since it was so easy to create so many buttons in so little 
amount of code.

However, to my dismay, I have tried this entire evening without success. It 
feels like I am so close
to shorten my program from 2k+ lines of code to maybe 250 at most, but still 
so far away.

Why is that?

Alright, my teacher never mentioned that when he examined my program.
Thanks for your input! Your help is as always appreciated and my apologize
for making confusing posts!
