[Python-bugs-list] Tkinter: widget.bind('sequence') incorrect (PR#368)

With Tcl/Tk, bind tag sequence returns the string which is the command.
With Python, widget.bind('sequence') seems to return a reference to the 
command not the command.

The following reproduces the problem on my machine. Try running the file
and observe the print output.  Pretty strange.


#! /usr/bin/env python

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

def init():
    pass

def greeting(str):
    import Dialog
    Dialog.Dialog(title="greetings",
                text=str,
                bitmap="",default=0,strings=("cont",))

class New_Toplevel_1:
    def __init__(self, master=None):



        self.ent17 = Entry (master)
        self.ent17.place(in_=master,x=45,y=50)
        self.ent17.configure(background="plum")
        self.ent17.configure(font="helvetica 14 bold")
        self.ent17.configure(foreground="black")
        self.ent17.configure(insertbackground="black")
        self.ent17.configure(selectbackground="black")
        self.ent17.configure(selectforeground="ivory")
        self.hello = StringVar()
        self.ent17.configure(textvariable=self.hello)
        self.ent17.configure(width="35")
        self.ent17.bind('q',lambda e: greeting('q'))

        x = self.ent17.bind()
        print 'x =', x
        x = self.ent17.bind('q')
        print 'x =', x
        # I expected x to be "lambda e: greeting('q')"
# I actually got the following
# x = set _tkinter_break [135926416<lambda> %# %b %f %h %k %s %t %w %x %y %A %E
%K %N %W %T %X %Y]
# if {"$_tkinter_break" == "break"} break

def vp_start_gui():
    global w
    root.title('New_Toplevel_1')
    root.geometry('500x200+216+41')
    root.configure(bg='wheat')
    w = New_Toplevel_1 (root)
    root.mainloop()
