[Tkinter] Button click problem using OOP

[joe_momma]

I think you kind of over thought it, the class isn't needed

Is there a way of detecting which button is clicked when they have been instantiated this way.

Yes by indexing a list and using functool -> partial.
here's an example:

import tkinter as tk
from functools import partial


root= tk.Tk()

def do_something(index):
    button_list[index].config(bg='green',fg='white')


frame= tk.Frame(bg='gray60', width= 1280, height= 720)
frame.pack()
button_list= []
for x in range(0,3):
    text_='Button {0}'.format(x)
    button_list.append(tk.Button(frame,text=text_,compound='center',
                       font=('comicsans',16,'italic'),
                       command= partial(do_something,x),
                       relief= tk.FLAT))
    button_list[-1].place(relx=x/4, rely=x/4, relwidth=0.18, relheight=0.18)

root.mainloop()
