Hello Janos,

There are two ways to do this (well probably more than two ways :) )

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
myVar=IntVar()
checkbutton=Checkbutton(root,text="My
Button",indicatoron=0,varible=myVar)
checkbutton.pack()
def printme(event):
	print myVar.get()
button.bind('<Button>',printme)
root.mainloop()

This way uses a Checkbutton (you could also use a Radiobutton) and the
indicatoron option which makes it look like a button essentially.

The other way:

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
button=Button(root,text="My Button")
button.pack()
def changeme(event):
	if button.cget('relief')==SUNKEN:
		button.config(relief=RAISED)
	else:
		button.config(relief=SUNKEN)
button.bind('<Button>',changeme)
root.mainloop()

Which just captures a button event and changes the relief of the button
accordingly
