Python tkinter button event

Question

import tkinter
import random

# GUI
window = tkinter.Tk()
window.title("Hangman")
window.geometry("640x400+100+100")
frame = tkinter.Frame(window)
frame.pack()
button_animal = tkinter.Button(frame)
button_animal['text'] = "Animal"
button_animal['background'] = 'yellow'
button_animal.pack()
button_capital = tkinter.Button(frame)
button_capital['text'] = "Capital"
button_capital['background'] = 'blue'
button_capital.pack()

This is what I wrote so far, what am I supposed to do to make the button to make event happens?

if I click animal, it should play a game, but I am not sure how to do at first.

You should take a look at some documentation about tkinter (for instance here. Buttons have a command option to execute a function when clicked. — j_4321

You should add command parameter to your button initialization. You can find more information in here tkinter button widget

Basically, you can bind your button to function in two ways:

button_animal = tkinter.Button(frame, command=your_function)

or if your function requires arguments, you can use lambda, like:

button_animal = tkinter.Button(frame, command=lambda : your_function(arg))

If you want to bind multiple function, you can do following:

button_animal = tkinter.Button(frame, command=lambda :[funct1(arg),funct2(arg)])
