[Tkinter-discuss] Calling functions outside the class

[craf]

Hi.

I'm testing this code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
from Tkinter import *

class MyApp:
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self.myParent = parent  ### (7) remember my parent, the root
        self.myContainer1 = Frame(parent)
        self.myContainer1.pack()

        self.button1 = Button(self.myContainer1)
        self.button1.configure(text="OK", background= "green")
        self.button1.pack(side=LEFT)
        self.button1.bind("<Button-1>", self.button1Click) ### (1)

        self.button2 = Button(self.myContainer1)
        self.button2.configure(text="Cancel", background="red")
        self.button2.pack(side=RIGHT)
        self.button2.bind("<Button-1>", self.button2Click) ### (2)

    def button1Click(self, event):    ### (3)
        if self.button1["background"] == "green": ### (4)
            self.button1["background"] = "yellow"
        else:
            self.button2["background"] = "green"

    def button2Click(self, event):  ### (5)
        self.myParent.destroy()     ### (6)


root = Tk()
myapp = MyApp(root)
root.mainloop()

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Works without problems, but if I want to get the functions of the class,
then the problems begin.

from Tkinter import *

class MyApp:
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self.myParent = parent  ### (7) remember my parent, the root
        self.myContainer1 = Frame(parent)
        self.myContainer1.pack()

        self.button1 = Button(self.myContainer1)
        self.button1.configure(text="OK", background= "green")
        self.button1.pack(side=LEFT)
        self.button1.bind("<Button-1>", self.button1Click) ### (1)

        self.button2 = Button(self.myContainer1)
        self.button2.configure(text="Cancel", background="red")
        self.button2.pack(side=RIGHT)
        self.button2.bind("<Button-1>", self.button2Click) ### (2)

def button1Click(self, event):    ¡¡¡FUNCTION OUTSIDE THE CLASS!!!
    if self.button1["background"] == "green": ### (4)
        self.button1["background"] = "yellow"
    else:
        self.button2["background"] = "green"

def button2Click(self, event): ¡¡¡FUNCTION OUTSIDE THE CLASS!!!
        self.myParent.destroy()     ### (6)


root = Tk()
myapp = MyApp(root)
root.mainloop()

What would be the correct way to call them?

Thanks in advance
