any trick to allow anonymous code blocks in python?

That's the alternative David Eppstein mentioned, and I like it even 
better than my =: suggestion ( b.onclick =: <code block> ).

Perhaps that should be a proposal for Python.  It's like the decorators 
proposal (318).  It just saves an extra step and is helpful for 
framework designers (people who use metaclasses, etc.).  Instead of 
having to do this (or the other ways I mentioned):
def onclick(..):
    ...code here
b.onclick = onclick

You can save a step and just do like you said:
def b.onclick(...):
    ...code here

Similarly, decorators will save a step: (exact syntax TBD)
def myfunc (params) [synchronized]:
    ...
instead of:
def myfunc (params):
    ...
myfunc = synchronized(myfunc)

You know better than me, but last I checked, in prothon you can't use 
any of the wealth of python bindings to 3rd-party code libraries. 
Perhaps eventually either prothon could be made compatible with python, 
or SWIG/Boost/Pyrex etc. could be made compatible with prothon so that 
it would be easy for example to compile wxpython for prothon. wxprothon.
