Have you tried using 'tags'. These are widely underestimated.
There is the special tag 'current' which is bound to the object under the
cursor. The 'object' however is only the drawn area, i.e. you have to 'fill'
it.

Useful methods are gettags, find_withtag; even tag_bind might be useful!
There can be a list of tags to each object of course and they can be
manipulated in multiple ways (

Try this:

from Tkinter import *

c=Canvas(width=300,height=300)
c.create_rectangle(10,10,280,280,tags='a',fill='yellow')
c.create_rectangle(100,100,200,200,tags='b',fill='green')
c.pack()

def aMove(ev):
    print c.gettags('current')

c. bind("<Motion>",aMove)
c.mainloop()
